I've already contacted my sister who lives in Hot Springs to see if she'll nab me several rolls. I grew up 15 miles from Hot Springs in Malvern, Ark.. Havn't been there since Jan of '86. Billy Bob Thornton was from my neck of the woods, never met him though. Anywho, I'm looking forward to receiving mine...

I received a bag of 100 D mint today and the obverse is mushy as heck, the reverse is nice but where is the hair and the face? Good grief!
