Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 01/16/2013 2:41 pm Wow! Funny story, When I bought my Lot of Coins, the dealer included the Auction Catalog of this sale... When I saw the silver tets, I thought you might get one if you knew of the sale... Weird feeling ends up being true! Report this Post to the Staff
