cisRocks New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 7:19 pm This was a gift I received for Christmas and was sold to my husband by coin shop as a piece 8. He unfortunately knows nothing about coins and trusted the retailer. I believe he was ripped off. Even if the coin he believed he was buying over priced due to condition. I dont want to hurt his feelings but I can't let this just go. Report this Post to the Staff
