I use PhotoScape X for Windows 10 and it is very versatile, pretty intuitive, and the free version costs - $0. The Pro version costs $39.95 but...
Randy, how about AU 59.7? Just joking but since we started participating in the GTG and CAC threads, it has emphasized exactly how subjective...
I believe the differences are mostly due to strike and die wear. The stars on the half are not as well-defined as on the quarter. I don't have...

Orange County, Florida is on a complete lockdown and I have heard a rumor that the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) will not be having any...
I see enough small nicks and ticks on the figure of Liberty and some other obverse locations to give it a 63. The reverse looks gem to me. So, I...
