14 Finest Saddle Ridge Coins in Original Can (1866-1894) (http://www.amazon.com/Finest-Saddle-Original-1866-1894-Various/dp/B00KH13U8G/ref=sr_sp-atf_image_1_1?s=collectibles&ie=UTF8&qid=1401313218&sr=1-1&keywords=saddle+ridge)
The Free shipping tempted me but, when I checked my bank statement I found I am about $2,749,000 shy of the price.
I found the reviews amusing.

"this can is the only can that will ever be publicly offered"

:laugh2: Jeff ..... I wonder how much the price would come down if they canned the can? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYoogY-UGio)

Maybe they could market some of them in pilot's caps.
