    Don’t care for it. I believe it’s a 67, but geez.....beautiful toning? Ummmm...ok, I guess. Not for me.

    Interesting holder, for sure.

    I was truly wondering when someone would mention the Uber-Super-Nebula-Nova 20 Lib. on the board.

    As you all may expect, I do not find that coin attractive... the true beauty of the gold is (IMO) destroyed...It may well be a 67, hard to tell from pictures, but with that ugly environmental contamination, it is terrible. For those who like and collect such coins - fine - your money, your preferences... enjoy the hobby. Cheers, RickO

    People laughed. People cried.
    No one bled profusely.
    Money was made.
    Egos were manifested and abused.
    There is already an online petition of close to 3,000 ANA voters to award @specialist the Iron Throne.

    Does anyone remember the Miller Lite commercial from 30+ years ago?
    George Steinbrenner and Billy Martin (then in maybe his third of five hitches as Yankee manager).
    Back and forth,
    George and Billy
    Tastes light! Tastes great!
    Tastes light! Tastes great!
    George gives Billy a very nasty look and Billy exclaims
    I feel very strongly both ways!

    BTW, it has been confirmed that, while being forcibly relocated, Generalissimo Franco is still dead. ;)

    @Fred,
    Multiple Fillmore posters..... Big Brother, Airplane and Quicksilver... but only when wearing blue-tinted glasses and inhaling the poster. ;)

    Ah sweet redolence :#

    A lot of coins don't image well, too bad there isn't a video with optimal lighting, maybe black lights and 3D vision.
