Now that I thought about this a little more I am not sure about my last comment. Since the dies clashed then couldn't the weakness in the center...
I appreciate reading all of the comments on this thread. One's never too old to learn from others. I tend to agree now that there is wear on the...

A 68 DCAM recently sold at Great Collections for $2695. Two years ago a 67 DCAM sold for $1210. My guess is $1000 for the one in question. I'm...
Interesting zoomed image; not sure what to make of the MM now.
That's a pretty buffalo!
Fake news!
