What is the history of blue proofs? BTW, that pattern half is extraordinary, Vic. You sure collect some outstanding coins.
It's a good thing I don't have hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.
BTW Ethan, when you buy slabbed coins, do you look up the certificate number on the NGC and PCGS websites? It's a wise precaution, especially if...
