Why do Yoda you speak like, Ken?
to what coin are you referring, Doug? and is the percentage of high grades due to agreements not to grade coins below a set grade within a...
My preferences are: Walking Liberty Half Draped Bust Gold Heraldic Eagle reverse from Flying Eagle Cent
I have been developing a segment for a future podcast and I was wondering what the US coin people on CT thought was the greatest single coin...
