Such coins have completely fulfilled their economic duty. But, as we all know, numismatists mostly prefer coins that have seen minimal action....
In a word, no. I've never experienced anything like that, but I have also never been to a huge east coast show either. I try to make it to shows...
I did join my local coin club, but I've only shown up two or three times in the past year. Sometimes the topics are extremely interesting,...
