Is this someone we know? I don't recognize the seller Abba45 and there is no mention of belonging to any group like the IMCA. If I may quote here from her/his auction: " Fully flanged buttons are very rare and a flawless one is worth anywhere between $2000 - $5000 depending on size, shape and condition." I think it's very nice, but at only 4.2 grams I wouldn't pay that much unless it weighed about 200 pounds. ;-) Have a great clear sky night and may a beautiful rare and expensive meteorite fall into your yard tonight. All the best! Brian Received on Mon 09 Aug 2010 02:55:10 AM PDT |
