[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3132829, member: 56859"]Ohhhh, I got that new eBay thing where they tell me the item is not longer available and show me something else :(. I clicked the word "listing" and was able to see the coin you bought :) Because the link and image will not work after a few months, I'm uploading the images here for you. And heck yeah, that's a fabulous little coin, especially for the price ($29)!
