Yeah. Just ask @jwitten. And gold stored for a long time in old leather pouches can tone quite nicely
Agreed. I can't remember but I think I've seen one in an error label slab too
He's ok, he was almost blown up but he's ok :)
Wow. Where ya been pacecar? I don't thinking seen you around for a year or so
Yup, one of my most famous discoveries, the 1879s vam 1B2, was a later die state of a previously known vam with a large gouge. I noticed that the...

I hear she already likes toned gold ;)
45. Could have made 50 though
Ziggy got it. The Wisconsin is a die variety.
