No I wouldn't say that at all. What I would say is what I already said - that they lack the skills and knowledge. Everybody lacks skills and...
This I agree with. This I do not agree with. Yes, a coin can easily, and often does, have lines from die polishing and die scratches ( two...
But how could it be anything else ? I mean why does CAC even exist ? They exist for one reason, and only one reason - because collectors, most of...
Yeah, I did. Haven't read it yet.
