Your comment pretty much sums up the real problem. You see just about everybody believes that is true - that the TPGs "know". Problem is, in a...
No, I don't carry one any longer. This one was the last example, there were others that preceded it. This one was sold to another forum member...
Yes, it is.
It always amazes me that people think something can't be done just because they don't know how to do it or they have never seen it before. And...
Well I'll tell ya what, and this goes for everybody not just John, if ALL of you don't knock it off - I'm gonna put the whole bunch of you in time...

Would it have ? But what if it wasn't ? YES ! Apparently you guys don't remember but we've talked about this coin before -...
Nahhh, not favorite topics at all, just topics that many are misinformed about or have the wrong idea about. Those topics being: yes, gold tones;...
