Very nice addition. I'm almost through my withdrawal symptoms as it's been a couple of months for me.
Where do they get the number almost 60% of coins sold on e-bay are fake? I would venture to guess it is much less than 5%. Unless you count the...
Sorry I have to pay off the coins I have already bought before I can save for new ones. :)
So why not worry about the whole enchilada, They could counterfeit a slab that has a CAC'd serial number with a counterfeit CAC sticker and a...
I agree, being able to type in a serial number and see if it passed or failed would be a benefit to collectors but I see how that could be bad for...
Just curious so we can all learn from this, where were they stored in your house that a burglar found them? I agree with T$ a SDB is probably...
Great story beginning to end, I really like the new coins you chose. I have bought and sold to Legend and they have always treated me really well....

Your last set of pics give a much better view of how the coin looks in hand. We can see the minimal hairlines, excellent strike etc.......
That is a very diverse collection, thanks for sharing. Looks like you have a bit more room to squeeze some more gold in. :)
The reeding does not look like normal reeding though, they don't look consistent that was why I was thinking it was something else. Is it...
