I want to know if my assumption is correct and if I should really kick myself for not getting that coin when it first was released... Report this Post to the Staff

Only problem is that when you are lucky enpugh to get an NCLT item such as this, you want to keep it, rather than selling it for a profit. Report this Post to the Staff
