    Thanks~

    No problem, glad to see the thread was bumped for you to enjoy.

    We had show and tell at a local coin club meeting last night... nothing quite as cool at our meeting though one guy did bring in a big flat sheet of pure gold that weighed about six ounces. Said he paid $100 for it, but that would have been several decades ago!

    I noticed the last name of Imhoff and got to believe he is a relative of Todd Imhoff of HA.com fame, can anyone here confirm this to be true and if so that seems quite interesting.

    I was thinking the same thing>

    I asked Todd. He said no relation. All "Imhof" Family came from Switzerland. "Imhoff" (with 2 f's) came from Germany.

    To state the obvious, it is Todd Imhof of HA.com fame, not Imhoff.

    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    looking at the picture it's hard to believe they were able to get Farran Zerbe and Thomas Elder in the same room together.
