Sure! Look at it this way - if ours is the only one, we will get it for that amount

I had a chance to see a preview of it in New York in January. Some very nice coins in there.

Had a neat package waiting for me today, including a USB stick and the following letter:



<< <i>Dear Mr. M,

Today is the last day of the exhibition and unfortunately I cannot make it.
I looked at the online catalog and there is not even a listing of the coins.

I hope you will copy the entire USB stick before you return it and put those images
on a DVD for future reference (personal use, of course). I, for one, would like a copy.
