[meteorite-list] AD: Accepting offers for Portales Valley "nosecone"

[Robert Verish]

Hello Listees,

While we wait for NASA's "big announcement", here are some interesting images of a recently found mass of the 1998 New Mexico fall: 
Portales Valley:

The owner of this 3855gram "nosecone-shaped" mass of metal-rich, metallic-melt called Portales Valley, is accepting serious offers.

This represents an unexpected opportunity for the collector that may have missed-out on the initial offerings of this 1998 fall to obtain an uncut mass.  
Also represents an investment opportunity for a dealer (or consortium of dealers or institutions) since there are very few slices of this meteorite available.

Hope you, at least, enjoy the images,
Bob V.
