Yes, it looks okay to me. I have get used to ancient copper. All of it seems to have "environmental damage." Accepting that is part of the...
It's been my observation that Seated Dollars seem to have fewer bag marks that the Morgan Dollars. Perhaps they spend less time in bags getting...
It is illegal, but the law is seldom enforced, especially with Chinese imports, which what this is. You can not prosecute the Chinese because they...
EF-40, but the reverse really looks cleaned, the obverse less so. It probably got by for the 40 grade.
Yes, Medusa had snakes growing out of head, and people were turned to stone when they looked at her. .????
Yes, luster is a big factor. I thought that there was some in the protected areas between the stars. One of the problems with original surface...
