The old ANACS holders are pretty neat, and they're usually graded accurately. As far as toning goes, there is usually a premium on the price. Its...
Before I got into ancients my oldest coin is a 1846 US Cent. Now my oldest coin is 325-310 BC Greek coin.
Thanks for the comments. I was having a hard time deciding if it was worth paying more money for a coin just because it was a tad bit larger and...
