<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7883804, member: 19463&quot;]I hope they are ancient, too, but I can&#039;t say I am all that certain.&nbsp; My two are moldmates unless my better one was the mother.&nbsp; A dozen years ago?&nbsp; I got my better one from NFA XXXIII lot 1604 (illustrated in the plates and still have the catalog and invoice). The description mentioned &quot;breaks in plating on the reverse&quot; but they were on the obverse.&nbsp; This sale was May 1994, the same month Bruce McNall sold his interests in the L.A. Kings hockey team and a few months after he was sent to prison.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know who was responsible for not knowing obverse from reverse. They had bigger troubles then.&nbsp; My paperwork also included a letter signed &#039;Robert Allen&#039; requesting rapid payment, preferably by wire transfer.&nbsp; I wonder if this would count as saleable provenance as one of the last coins sold by NFA?&nbsp; NFA was &quot;Fun While it Lasted!&quot;</p><p>That lefty was the only coin I got from NFA sales that I considered less than advertised.&nbsp; They had interesting coins and nice catalogs.&nbsp; Memo to self: Don&#039;t bid in sales by convicted felons.&nbsp; I won one other from XXXIII, a decent, mid grade Commodus.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1359667[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
