jeeze and here I thought Eddop or Martin would just swoop in and pick this one up without a second look....
I am surprised this one is holding you guys at bay. Once again this coin is on wildwinds for its rarity of variation. It has something to do with the bust. Should be the give away! Where you at Ski, you sleeping?
