[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1245300, member: 21705"]This is one of My misfit coins which is a nice way to describe the problem coins you are talking about.

Just for grins, those of you who can't stand problem coins are asked to assign a value that you would: A offer for this and B offer to sell this for if it were yours to sell.[/QUOTE]
