Purdy ain't it? Going to have to wait for an upcoming edition of TASS for more details.

We probably mined enough lead out of that poor old dear to cast a bullet for a 32 pistol. But the bore is shining like a mirror now and most of those "pits" are attached to the dirty cleaning patches.

Did Ed just offer an 1872 Gold piece? . Nope. Even better, a brand new, crisp $20 bill with the upgraded security measures. Gold would just weigh Don's pants down. BTW, an 1872 $20 gold piece in 65% condition is worth ~ $70,000.00. Ed

I know you're teasing us about the details but does it have a known history to match its looks?
