I mirror the confusion of intended denominations on my two type IV fractions. It gets worse considering the wear on my coins. The ID's were...
Many years ago, I was told that there has been more damage to coins in the last hundred years than in the 2000 before it. The reason is the...
Sorry but some of us date back to when we most certainly did have an agenda. Coin Talk had a section that lumped together world moderns and...
