I agree with Mark. I think they would be able to identify a legitimate new variety given enough time to study its characteristics. In addition to...
There really is a load of detail in your medal New. It would be interesting to do some research on it and see if you could discover who the...
Howard's right, the U.S. Mint is only about ten blocks from the convention center. A nice walk if the weather is nice. Bruce
I just signed up for a PayPal account a few months ago, and wish I'd done it long ago. I'm very happy with it and wouldn't pay for a purchase any...
The Philly show is a good one Susan and I'd recommend you go to it if you can. It's a big show with lots of dealers and great selection for any...

I'd grade that one a definite BU Jim (beat up).:D Bruce
