Nic-A-Date Bob, The Nic-A-Date shouldn't work on the Lincoln. It only works on nickles. This is because of the composition of the metal....
I think they're going to announce the opening of the PCGS Dating Service. Here's what a 1968-S looks like: "Here is a 42-year-old blonde from...
I have both sold and purchased hundreds of items on eBay. I no longer sell, but I still make purchases. I am happy with 90+% of my purchases. Why...

There's enough there for me to call it F-12.
Lettow: That's an impressive collection. You know how they say "Buy the book before the coin?" Well, I have a new saying for you: Buy the...
