Good luck but you would spot the added "S" from across the room!
Why doesn't anyone ever add a "U", or an "M"?
Ohio State fans?
I'm in, thanks and congrats !!!!!
If you could post a better close-up picture of the coin in the holder, that would be almost as good.
big thanks!
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
I never realized such slabs were ever produce. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty neat coin! I'm in!
Sample giveaway - I'm all in!
Cool giveaway, do they just take a razor blade and cut an "S" off another coin and glue it on?
Just wondering how this is done?
cool - is that an ICG slab ?

I'm in, but only if I win, it goes to Bill Jones. I would love to see that black cabinet.
Neat slab. Nice twist to the giveaway... I'm in.
Very kind offer ... and a cool slab. It took me quite a while to locate one of these as a production slab "in the wild."
