PLEASE NOTE: I HAD A STROKE AND AM PARTIALLY PARALIZED ON MY RT HAND SIDE SO I USE 'SELL SIMILAR' TO LIST SIMILAR COINS. I JUST CAN'T TYPE EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN WITH ONE FINGER WITH MY LEFT HAND. THIS IS WHY THE LISTING FORMAT IS SO SIMILAR. I JUST CHANGE THE WEIGHT, DESCRIPTION AND SIZE FOR EACH NEW SIMILAR COIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING...rrus99999................
