Just in case anyone is wondering, the mint sets and PCGS slab will remain intact. Shocking, I know!

This is my first slabbed coin. I have said I will eventually have to crack slabs to fill Dansco holes, but I do not have a hole to fill here.

HeHe
I sent you a slabbed Captain Cook and one in the original plastic case that these Specimen coins were issued in so that you can get a good look and "Feel" of this coin without having to crack the Slobbed coin

I noticed that. I have not taken it out yet...

**shake** **rattle** **tap** **spin** ... ***slide***

Oh, nice!

I think this one will get a 2x2 for the Aussie page and the case will find a spot in the big box with all of my US OGP materials.

Well when the poles reverse, we will almost be on top of the world. Unless they change magnetic definitions.

There are times when I feel like we are on the bottom, for sure.

Besides, is it not better to be down under the south pacific sun than on top of the steaming pile of whatever it is I smelled on the way in to work this morning?

By the way, just ordered some 2x2 pages to expand my albums to hold some of these beauties (those not in the slab or original packaging).

I always take mine out of the packaging Mate, after all it is just some fancy cardboard that will probably eventually cause the coins some harm anyway

Hmmm... I might have to take you up on that advice then.

There will certainly be plenty of room for the expansion. I also have a fresh supply of 2x2s on that order, various sizes to accomodate.

The slab stays intact though.

Kindness goes a long way , If more people were like this we would not have wars.

The powerful emotions of the human brain can achieve remarkable things at both ends of the scale.

You (Trout) have 100% blitzed the top end. Well done Sir , You have shown to be a quality friend.

And I dare say you have now made one as well. I tip my hat to you Sir. You deserve any praise that comes your way.

Truth.

I have never met Trout in person, but I think I know him well enough to say he would be the last one to suggest war was the solution to any problem being discussed.

Yes that was my point entirely. A good soul coupled with a good heart means a quality person. If only we had politicians with that genetic breeding.
