Sorry, but I seriously disagree with: "While it occaisonally happens for brief periods of time we have never seen it persist for such a long...
The price of these are very sensitive to legion number and condition. These are pretty common low grade, but yours is in better than average...
You would think so, but I know for a fact a dealer very recently bought a number of British proof gold sets. No one but a refiner was quick enough...
Yeah, and people just paid over $1800 each for four coins i can buy all day long online for $1700. There should be a whole new class of stupid...
