I was totally lost within myself, for a few moments I was 12 years old again...&nbsp; There&#039;s magic in old coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Soon after that I entered a store I&#039;d driven by many times up in town and saw for the first time a slabbed coin, this was a little over four years ago, Really...</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
