Ebays not really interested in curbing all the non-sense. They're worried about their share price. I read an article in Coinage a while back...
:thumb: Your albums are looking great. The pics are big now. That's a real nice collection you've got going there.
[IMG] I have a few of these but none in this good of condition or with this gorgeous toning. I very rarely buy anything foreign so to be...
You might want to read up on and get a better understanding of grading. For most coins in MS-65, there is an allowance for minor flaws such as...
Off topic, but I don't know if I can whole heartedly agree with that statement. The write-offs the average person gets are unbelievable....
Great examples and great post. Although these are two series' I don't normally buy, this serves as a good refresher and visual example. These...
