I would agree with @-jeffB and @Oldhoopster , do not touch it, get a reader to check composition, and if it is nickel you have basically no chance...
Yeah, first time I bought a multiple thousand dollar coin from overseas it was a few restless weeks of waiting. The wait becomes more bearable the...
My eyes man, please. OP, what is worst is if you win an inexpensive lot at HA, they have a minimum premium they charge. It can double the cost of...
Interesting to see the mint going down the privy mark road. I agree its a money maker for them as resellers, but do not see it benefiting the...
Considering the Supreme Court used the "I know it when I see it" affirmation means some things are contextual, and absent context impossible to...

Separate names with a comma.
