Received a nice little surprise in the mail today all the way from Australia!
A big thanks to my friend and our fearless leader Steve-o who keeps the wheels turning SO WELL at TRF!
 A nice 1963 2-shilling silver Florin that's been in Steve's family for years. As the resident Numismatist, I'm truly touched to receive such a nice gift! It highlights just what a great place TRF is and what a great community that has been built here.  Thanks for the gift, I've changed my avatar for the remainder of this week to 'celebrate'!  Chris - Numismatist
