I was going to guess MS60, but then I saw you had already given away the grade. Guess it was marginally better than I thought.
The fees for grading charged by the various services aren't the whole picture. You also have the postage to send the coins, the postage for the...
This has been my philosophy since the late 1970s. Other than some junk silver and some silver rolls (more junk silver), everything I own is in a...
