This looks like one of the coins which toned as a result of being in D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. Later, as GI's took these coins home,...
Is that the really small gold piece? The 1/10 ounce. If so, and if you want the bullion, forget about it, and just buy raw gold or regular gold...
Eh - I don't like it. Its ugly and not that historical IMO. Ruben
In that the die polishing lines can go through devices or that the cleaning of the coin polishing lines sometimes are only the fields? ... just...

[IMG] [IMG] Well there is this one which I think is not a sharp but over $600 more at $1575 The other was $975. I have a spare grand to throw...
It seems that with Mercury's that the early dates have shaper strikes. That 1919 has a very clear reverse. Ruben
They are famous in the local market for top end coins. They have a lot of collection auctions and such. They are not cheap. Ruben
Well those Bafoons are using Microsoft software and throwing out of memory errors now (slashdot effect from cointalk ) <<An unhandled exception...
Anyone ever use Stacks Auctions in NY for coins? This is a decent Merc up there http://www.stacks.com/shop_coindetail.aspx?esid=8001 Ruben...
