Hi Mike, I'll keep you in mind for my next buy, couple of weeks if all
goes well. You're in the US, are you?

I don't have access to a.b.p.n., my newsswerver doesn't do binaries. If
I get a chance to scan it I'll stick it on a website and post a link,
but it's pretty un-exciting from a design or condition standpoint.
Sorry if I'm offending someone, but Queen Victoria isn't my cuppa.

Is it normal that it's almost brassy in color? The weight is right, so
I'm not worried about that sort of thing, but it's seriously more yellow
than the South African 2 Rand that I have, which is also 22 Karat.
Maybe it's wear/luster, or lack thereof?
