Thanks for the info, just not sure about what this means? "fire sale coin" does that mean it's "baked" or artificially toned? and how exactly...
oh nice pic, like the zoom up feature. Are you saying it'd be best to just keep it? It is in pretty good condition after all & from a good...
lol, nice. I'm getting a unc/bu one eventually, maybe I'll try. (will definitely do some research into it first though) thanks
definitely agree w/you there. It's kinda misleading if you think about it.
lol, true I guess non-technically then. Unless they are more in pricing guides, I don't know.

heres the last pic
I've been working on a collection, and just want a general reference I can write on the 2x2 to keep track of condition. Let me know what you guys...
