Yep. One can have a home safe and a safe deposit box. I do. At all times, the majority of my collection is at the bank. Only part is at home,...
Some people would have you believe those are scratches on the reverse. Not so. That's the signature of the man who signed his name simply "X"....
Pedigree markers. Subtle, yet unmistakable.
