Hahahaha. HahaHAHAha ha ha. Mountain man, with your experience around here, this is a joke, right? You aren't actually questioning if these...
The most clear analogy is to relate this to your level of experience. For example, when you were in elementary school, you were taught that...
Black areas may be caused by a few things. PVC, when it is *very* thick and very old, may be black or brown. There may have been some sort of...
Much more likely, a substance was applied to the one side of that coin. To me, there's a big difference between your example and the ones in the...
I'll bet Publius2 paid an MS-62 price for his AU-58 coin. Does that seem like a compliment? Phrased from the other point of reference, it might...
