[QUOTE="Grimster, post: 872954, member: 24823"]Im roll searching nickels right now for a complete jefferson set. It is taking some time.

I dont anticipate finding a 50-D anytime soon, but thats half the fun. I could always take these war nicks that Im accumulating and go to a shop and buy the 50-D with them later, which is an interesting way to think of buying one at a discount.
