Hello Brian and List,

On December 3rd, 2000, I asked our late Darryl Futrell (+ Aug 13, 2001) what
a reasonable price for a perfect Australian button would be and the next day he
responded like this:

"A perfect flanged button goes for about $2000 or more.
Maybe a sandblasted one might turn up for $1000 or so."

Best wishes from someone
who wishes he had one too

Bernd
