Hey Ben, I don't mean to try to stir things up anymore, but wasn't the disagreement about the ANA grading standards? And just to throw my very...
And they don't need to be graded to determine that they are proof coins, and sell for well over $20 a piece. Thats the point I was trying to make...

My reasons are simple. The hobby has brought me alot of joy. If I can share that with others and help them (especially YN's) then I get some...
