En Dios nos Fiamos, Nuestros Hijos . . .(Quien sabe)

("In God we Trust"-In Spanish) "En Dios Nosotros nos Fiamos de... ¡TODO Otros Pagan al contado"! Por ahí entra el negocio. Por otro lado aquí con mis colecciones de monedas es todo el placer.

No pictures, Please!

James Fraser, and "B.D." himself! Black Diamond was not a ?model? model!...

You'd think BD would be honored, but he refused to pose! He kept turning to watch Fraser draw instead of standing sideways.
