I don't know where you got that! I came in second in an auction. The winner never paid his bill. The auctioneer contacted me a month after the...
My two were $35 and $33. I saw one at a show for $750. That is pretty much the range. Most of these are small flan and part legend. For big...
We have changed the definition of coin over the years. Now the US mint makes five ounce silver rounds and writes 'Quarter Dollar' on them. That...
I have always wondered just what the appropriate action was in this case. I can't see a 'win' with any action. Lets say that I was the first...
