This is the highest graded example of the type at PCGS, with a present total population of only five pieces in all grades. There are four in...
Thanks for the detailed commentary! I live for feedback like that. Yes, I have always found it hard to stick with one category. Back when I was...
You're welcome to use any photos of my coins if you want. I've got a pretty wide variety.

Sounds good, if you think we’ll get enough participants signed up by December 1st. Count me in if you do it. I will also be the backup...
