Sunday PM...

A very good deal for $125 IMHO. You can see parts of two dates. Listed as a "buy it now" item. I would buy it if I hadn't spent so much shopping this weekend. Let me know if you buy it...

The seller also has another for $125, not quite as nice....

Nice Stan, looks ship wreck, I'm still saving for my Royal

OK, I bought it this morning since it was still there when I woke up.

I dont know. It does look a little shady. The more I learn about cobs, the harder it is to ID the fakes. There are so many different stamps that its hard to be sure. One way to be sure is to find two alike. I am a bit suspicious of this cob.

The last year of Potosi cobs was 1773.

Does your internet service provider give you any storage space for a web page? That would be a good place to start a page. After it matures you can migrate it to a better location. As far as registering a domain you can go to a registration company like godaddy.com to check on available names. For instance, "fakecob.com" is available (just an example).

I haven't had a chance to look it up yet. I think it is funky too, though not necessarily in a "fake" (sorry, uh, reproduction) way.

I'll email you when I get time. I have Bellsouth too, but think it is more for simple "personal" pages, not information sites.

For some reason I can no longer save complete eBay webpages. I dont know why?

How are you saving? I assume you are using IE:

File - Save As - Web Page Complete?

As you probably know you can save only pictures by right clicking on the image and then "save picture as".....

PM me if you are still having trouble....

It says error saving webpage can not complete or something like that. It was working a week or so ago. Ill try to go back to a restore date and/or run a virus sweep. I can still save picture as but not the entire page. It must be my computer. thanks
