First, welcome to the neighborhood, Lucas! There can be any number of causes for such toning, but many coins, particularly proof coins, are...
Some people who have failed to "strike it rich" in their chosen profession usually write books to make money. It's no different for coin...
This is just a guess, but maybe @Lehigh96 can help you. Chris
Ditto! Chris
I took it for granted that you were a member of the NGC Collectors Society. Every year at the FUN Show, NGC holds a luncheon (free of charge) for...
It will be corrected on their website once they are advised of the mistake. So, you're going to the FUN Show for the first time, huh? If I...
