I just got my "1.46gm" NWA 1925 with card originally from Mike Farmer. This is a beautiful gabbos eucrite he recently classified with very low tkw. I was lucky enough to have bought fro, Mike his last 0.37g piece at $100gram. He sold all he had in hours for less when first listed and retreived more from his partner on this specimen. So I felt very fortunate for a chance to upgrade. Howvever a few days after having won this from you, I saw a 5x4mm frag listed on ebay that had fallen "your'" piece. Thus I thought it might be prudent to weight my piece when it arrived today. This weighed in at 1.38gm on my scale short ~.08gms from the weight advertized and what's documented on Farmer's card. The reason why coins have ridges today is because in olden days unscrupulous people use to shave silver and gold of them to profit. While I'll admit that I still got a great price and it small potatoes to re-pen my card- Shame, Shame, Shame! Don't ever do this again without saying so in writing. Steve, I thought you'd rather take your flogging here on the list than I give you negative feed back on ebay. Sincerely, Howard Wu "Steve Arnold, Chicago!!!" <steve_arnol60120_at_yahoo.com> wrote: Hi list.I just got my half gram slice of pinto mountains.It is a nice little piece.I want to thank martin horejsi for this fine little gem.Also does anyone know the history of this meteorite? steve ===== Steve R.Arnold, Chicago, IL, 60120 I.
