As a long time coin collector, OBV is "typically" the abbreviation for OBVERSE (or the front side of a coin) v. "REV" which most collectors use for REVERSE.
(just a comment...)

2nd: I was bidding from Mr. Clark and have purchased a few things from him and have been happy with my chips. I DO post on this board occasionally, but have NOT (and do not) always read every post. I simply do not have time. I also have tried to avoid any controversy as a new collector.

When a friend of mine commented that others had had problems with this seller, only then did I start paying attention. When the last Dean Clarke posting session appeared, I did follow and decided to resist bidding on his chips... NOT because I was unhappy and NOT because he had done anything deceptive to me... ONLY because I agree with the philosophy that this club has set a standard in chip collecting, based on honesty and integrety -- and any misrepresentation would be a breach of that standard.

It's shame things are this way but as many of you know -- I BUY PLENTY! hahahaha -- but at this point, I will buy primarily from club members as I have never had a problem with my purchases...
