It's probably a coin from the El Cazador. Many of them look like that, or worse.
Yes, most of them are. But as noted, it's largely because of the design. The other factor that comes into play is that the pressure was kept as...
OK, what is bullion price ? Bullion price is what you can buy gold for, bullion price is not spot. Go to any seller you want, anywhere, and buy an...
This is a concern as well. What would best would be to remove the coins from the original boxes, leaving them in their original hard plastic...
Detecto - My own fault, I should have read what I typed before clicking reply, but I was in a rush and didn't. I left a word out - unimpaired....
That's just it, it doesn't have cartwheel luster.

No one has as of yet discovered what causes milk spots, but there are theories. From what I have read, the mint has no idea what causes them...
