Victor----Wonder how much petrified [putrified] wood they found down there?? Surely this too is marketable? If it has a name on it---they will buy it. Maybe that's why a lot of overgraded coins in slabs still sell for "big" money?? Bob [supertooth]

I get a lump of coal in my Christmas stocking each year, free from Santa. I don't need to buy one!
