I think it was RS Yeoman who back around 1967 said that someday collectors would look for the shiny red edges. He wasn't wrong nearly as long as...
They are typically brown or red brown. I never thought much about it until recently and always just wanted some red.
I've been avoiding the place recently because modern coins are too political. You can talk about the problems in the 1850's but if anyone is...
