[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2725238, member: 27832"]There's no telling.

But it was holed [I]and[/I] engraved [I]and[/I] beat up from being worn, and it still got around half market value for a problem-free example. By comparison, I think the market for proof Trades is a good bit thinner than the market for even damaged Southern gold. All this is starting to make me a little itchy to list the thing, just to see what sorts of offers I [I]do[/I] get. Problem is, I don't especially want to let go of it...[/QUOTE]
