JCMhouston

This is one I missed out on in a previous Heritage Auction. Although I was tempted I was saving my pennies for a William & Mary Halfpenny that was coming up later and I had no idea how much it might cost. It came up again last week and I made an offer that was accepted last night.

Those are some pretty clean fields, JCM!

JCMhouston

Thanks, except for the little bit of chatter just in front of the bust it's a really clean piece, but that's why it's only a 64.
