Getting closer...who else is going?
1. I was setup at Ontario, you should have come said hi. 2. DPL and DMPL are the same. 3. The grading companies have different standards. I...
That sounds more like NGC, I think PCGS may be a little tougher. Not sure how you could tell the VAM 4 is repolished. Normally you would see a...

I agree, I did not know about the article and will go search for it. Met Hobo at summer seminar and would be nice to see the article and read...

Others will comment on how common they are but I know they are out there. I think one I have is rather proof like. Not the same as a PL Morgan but...
What were some of your purchases?
Anybody going to the Silver Sox game July 4th? I signed up for that. The tough part now is packing, there is only so much room for coins!
