You may be right On closer examination, the two do not seem to be quite the same. As a matter of fact, the OP's looks a lot like Bart Simpson's...
So, pretty much all grading is bogus, except what you, yourself do. I don't mean in assigning number or letter grades, but if you want an...
You can not tell from a picture if something is real, but you can tell from a picture if something is fake (like my 1947 Morgan Dollar). These...
Slight wear on Liberty's hair and the tips of the feathers made it AU. The Details part tells you that although the coin's details would make it...
