- Support though frankly I'm bored of these now; can't we have some with bullet holes in that have been shot by drunken ex-gunfighters trying to get their eye back in before a big showdown? Belle (talk) 23:48, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hang in there Belle, not too many more of these gold coins to go. Bullet holes, gunfighters, and showdowns... She's not pretty, but I think the location and signing VP's signature fit the bill...--Godot13 (talk) 00:39, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
