Sorry guys, I won’t be able to host the exchange this year due to work obligations. Please see here....
Nooooooo... I thought this was finished. I watched every single episode for some reason hoping that they would finally uncover something, but no....
Good call, once you go album, you’re hooked. Forty years later, I’m still sticking coins in albums.
Because most of the time the cost and effort to sell one just isn’t worth it.
Nice set so far, keep it up. I’d warn you though, the wooden box isn’t the best for long term storage. Though I have one of my own. This was part...

Is your comment about every coin struck limited to coins produced by the typical reduction process used today, or does it extend to the early hand...
I agree with your use of the term, I was just speaking in generalities. Harsh cleaning has been the accepted term for some years now, it just...
Harsh is probably to harsh of a word to describe it, but essentially anything that would damage the natural look or otherwise change the surface...
