THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT!!! Um, OK. ;) :D Cynically yours....Mike
A circulated 1874 trade dollar (that hasn't been cleaned): [img][img] Show me another one....Mike
All the seated series are a real challenge to finish. They are long series, and finding original coins isn't easy. That said, I'd be darn sure...

Another great post. Thanks for sharing your insight Jim. Question: Where can one get a mylar sealer?
Great info! Thank you for sharing this....Mike
