[ATTACH] Merry Christmas Eve to you fine people, I'm enjoying the final home Saints game and win! WHO DAT!
I knew they did, just surprised that they have never implemented them. Wasn't Q. David Bowers proposing St. Gaudens grading with a decimal some...
I've been wondering when something like this would be put in place. It seems like a perfect business model for the tpgs. I will always rely on my...
The Dansco set (with proof only issues) contains 32 pieces and four empty holes on the last page. I did my set a while back by getting pretty...
Just read that after your first comment regarding the hub discovery. It's amazing that there are still things to learn about the modern mint. Why...
