If that's the plan => then I'm good to go (never look back, my friend ... yup, there is nothin' useful to learn from history, that's my motto!!) ... anyway ... just jokes Yah, so I'm gonna post a coin ... however, I'm gonna try to find a coin that I haven't already posted on that sweet ol' thread ... => I may have already posted this coin on the other thread, but I don't think I ever posted it while it was still wearing its plastic outfit?
oh, and I know that you world/Canadian dudes are probably gonna cringe to see the next photos ... aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhyhyhhhhh => he removed it from its plastic-tomb!!! =>> yah sorry, fellas => man, that must be the ancient in me, eh? Hmmm, but that may have cost me? (it was a $2000 coin "before" I released it ... hopefully the next guy that wants to wrap it back up will also get a sweet "grade-estimator"?) anyway => mmmmm, yummy => now it fits so well into its new home
