OP coin is a great example of when gorgeous color meets uber-high grade. I was looking through the PCGS pops and CoinFacts for images of the PR69...
Check stuff in the 190s.
It's a near date, so look at those. VAM 19 is one with the date a in the normal position.
Could be 10 years that I first put one of these together. I get requests for them now and then, but not often. The coins have to really warrant...
Color is a funny thing. There are 4 things that make it a moving target. Color of the light source, white balance of your camera, color of the...
