Awesome group of Hungarian items! And I liked the Hawaii, USSR, and Irradiated Dime sprinkled in (being a Hobo makes it even cooler). I hadn't...
@charley and @Publius2 articulated it well. My generic answer/vote is "not at all" but I admit there are exceptions. If it's someone you know and...
They might have graded these on a curve as plenty had issues directly from the US Mint from what I read others reporting. Also, moderns don't...

I can see your (and most others) reasoning for liking the raw coin more. I'd probably submit it as part of your next order unless you can find...
Sorry to hear. When you're ready to be back in the game, I believe prices will still be fairly similar on the 2017 Butterfly (and deals can be...
Two of my favorites are the 2015 Cosmology and 2011 Mars/Robotics. You can see videos of each at the following links:...
I'd check eBay periodically as the Butterfly from 2017 is one of those that can be had for issue price or less when people auction them. I've seen...
