this is my preferred method, itis quite simple, fast, and requires no additional tools to accomplish.
i don't know, it may be gradeable, especially if it is an 8/7, then it could be identified by die characteristics other than the appearance of the...
I seriously doubt that a different photo/scan would change my opinion of the grade or value, your scan was adequate. Additionally, the strength...
I love bust halves, but my collection is nowhere near advanced enough for me to be in the Bust Half Nut Club! The entry requirements are pretty...
