Handling the coins carelessly during the packaging process didn't help either. My 1977 mint set has major issues due to fingerprints even though...
Nice set! Those coins don't seem to show up in OGP that often. From what I have observed a lot of the cupronickel pieces are impaired due to not...
I'm waiting to see which country issues the world's first legal tender Beanie Baby. The OP's "coin" is such a major departure from the concept of...
Overall I would rank the design a 7 or 8. A few observations: 1. In lower circulated grades, Seated coins look better than Barbers. Worn...
