Featured Savior of the Sasanian Empire... that is, I did the best I could;)

Thought I’d share what a standup guy Frank Robinson is.
After the coin showed up and I’d let him know it was busted, he said not to pay for it. I let him know that I wasReally happy with the other coins so it was no biggie, plus I’d already mailed the check.

I’m not surprised, Frank Robinson is one of the very best.
