First Strike. I was just wondering how much of this price was the fact it was in plastic as "First Strike", whatever the hell that means.
Cool man! I am glad for you.
How much is a regular 69 or 70 go for? How much premium is the FS? How much are one of these raw?
So how much of that asking price is for the coin, how much for the MS70 grade, and how much for the FS designation? Just curious.
Pretty much agree with this. I am suspecting enough of a dip that luster is slightly impaired, cause of both the reduced luster and the bright...
I agree. I try to know the market before I purchase. It doesn't always work that way, since I cannot know every market, but for something as tiny...

I hear you, but there are very important female numismatists. Many times they simply take a different angle on collecting. Some collect for the...
Its really cool. Its just a shame the date was what was left off.
I agree. I agree with Prince of Waldo's post on everything except this part. Soldiers are soldiers, and both sides fought where their leaders told...
I have driven to Chicago many times, more than 5 hours from where I live. It depends completely on the quality of the show IMHO.
Very pretty set Matt.
I hear you sir, as it does look a touch low engraving quality, but I thought all hunnic imitations had countermarks. I thought they only imitated...
