Well join the club Greg. The so called experts have been arguing about what defines an error and what defines a variety for decades. And they will...
I've never heard of them. But if it did come from the Mint then the paperwork will say so. Does it ?
Was it ? Do you deny the scratches are there ? I mean, I can see them plain as day, so how was that a bad rap ? Ask yourself this question, if it...
No offense, but you need to get out more. In over 50 years of experience I have never seen a single dealer wear gloves, not one. None of the...

When I collected US coins I had all of the original Mint Sets going back to '49 and the Proofs back to '50. The Mint Sets are fairly easy to...

It's a little different than putting zinc plates on the steel rudders and/or steel hulls of ships. That occurs because of the salt water. But...
What you have to watch out for is when they do this. So don't feel too bad :D [ATTACH]
