Yes, I would. All members should be treated with respect, particularly the newer ones. Now I'll grant you, what you said could be true, but the...
It's an individual choice of course but tongs are a bad idea when it comes to coins because there's always too much chance of dropping the coin....
Only one way to put this - I'm ashamed of all of you for treating the young man that way. I thought all of you were better men than that. Now if...
Three look to be AT to my eyes - the '36 Walker, the '42 Merc, and the '63 Washington. The rest appear to be NT to me.
I think you need to remember something, or maybe I should say be aware of something. The TPGs will only attribute and slab the major DDO/DDR...
