If you're only keeping one, that's a good one to keep.
Ahh... Rsomeplace Coin Club. I was thinking rec.collecting.coins for a moment (#ThrowbackThursday). Nice haul!
For me, the photo on the gray background gives me a better feel for the edge of the coin. It also makes the cataloger's job of cropping the...
Yours is about 4 grams too heavy, then. I imagine that Kosoff's piece was barely identifiable, but for the provenance. Maybe I misread the...
Here's the auction I think you're referring to -- the Abe Kosoff collection. I didn't see a lead J-1621 in that sale, but there were some...
