    How bout sharing? Didn't your mother ever teach you that? Or at least save one for me to find. Grats on the dirty dozen. Was there ever a definitive answer on whether that was utilized as a wizzer or repurposed as a button (when the shank broke off)?

    Davey gets razzled no matter what, but even from the kinder crowd when it involves a hiatus sabbatical.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.
