What? Where? Why? Who? I have no idea what this site is that you mention, but there is no reason to pay for it. The Heritage archives are free...
Well sir, that is one of the finest compliments I've received in a long time. Thank you, @SuperDave
I don't know anything about Assam (the place) or Assam (the coins) or Assam (the history). But, I know Assam (the tea) and it is quite delicious.
@Insider, I think there would be interest in a comparison like you mention. The problem is, anyone (everyone) who writes on the subject approaches...
I honestly don't know if this is sincere or sarcasm.... One of the hardest choices I had to make when publishing my book (and the one which I...

Where did you post it? I didn't see it?
There are very few people who dispute that toning and great eye appeal will be rewarded by a higher grade by the TPGs. This is well known,...
The plastic itself is not the issue. There is a very high chance that foreign matter will get into the plastic (dust, grit, etc), and that is what...
It is very possible that it encountered some surface contaminants before you owned it. Carefully remove it from its holder, rinse it in acetone,...
Bryan would have loved this. A literal cross of gold upon which to crucify the nation ;)
