Yes, but you simply know I don't "do" pictures really. Don't know why I am so horrible at it. This one, in hand with a strong light, is every bit...
I understand, but SF did not have the minting history of Philadelphia. I was simply pointing out the US has a LONG tradition of made to order...
Yep. Made to order. There is a long history of Philadelphia dealers having "unique" errors, trial pieces, patterns, 1933 Double eagles, etc. Maybe...
Well Mat, you know me, I don't know what I own so kind of hard to say my least favorite. I would have to go with another answer here and say the...

I have no idea if I have ever been Clio'ed. I know I have lost way more auctions than I ever have won. Heck, yesterday I lost by a half bid on...
