SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 11/29/2019 03:29 am Oh...I thought you meant the actual L in Liberty. I see, the one actually all the way on the rim. Yep I agree, PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 11/29/2019 1:56 pm I'm a bit confused as to orientation of the L shape. Is that the Liberty L or, a second hit ? Dan Edited by Panther 11/29/2019 2:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
