For question one, they probably could but I think it would be a huge PR issue and they would rather not have the headache. For question two, I...
What is coin care? I like the color on the Indian but both PCGS and NGC lately have been giving a lot of questionable color designations and not...
I think the difference here is if they would have filed for a forfeiture hearing to begin with the government would have been legal holding on to...
Accept for the fact that the government signed or told the owner of the legal 1933 Double Eagle that that would be the only one. I have a...
