orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 08/29/2016 10:59 pm @dspenciner Thanks for the kind words @BobL Thanks your words are appreciated. By the way I have my eye on a couple of the assassins coins as we speak. I have just been waiting for the "right" examples. @echizento Thanks! I have no idea what I will do with the first one. I might hang on to it for a while as trade bait. Report this Post to the Staff
