Wow! I wouldn't have thought that low. ANACS seems to grade pretty tough sometimes.
Wow, Bone...nice coin! I'm new to all of this, but I'll give it a shot. The Reverse just looks great...almost AU. However, the obverse...
cyclonus11, have you put any thought into what grading company you'd like to use? GD, thanks for the comments. I'd like to forget about...
Hey, thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate all of your comments. I promise you that I'm not trying to look for some kind of sense of self...
After reading lots of stuff online and talking to a number of people, I have to ask the question; Is there a right way to collect coins? I would...
