I think it's a low end VF. As a rule though it's easier to overgrade world coins than to undergrade. I believe a good thumbing would improve...
I glanced at The Book but it didn't jump out at me. It is probably a 992 (Minnesota unidentified) and probably Minneapolis. It was probably...
That's weird. I just saw this pin on TV hours before opening this thread. I had thought it was a modern fake since it seemed impossible they'd...
There are quite a few of the good fors. One of the most popular is a soap token. There are fast food and sundry others as well. Some of my...
