man! You beat me to the punch! I thought that I was the only one who felt that these were a must have for my run of Mint Sets. Many collectors...
it's a black spot. It's definitely on the coin. There's another small black spot at about 1:00 on the reverse as well
I am slowly putting other pics up and will have separate threads for each. Give me your grades on this 1917. The green thing is foreign...
are you done whining now? I couldn't possibly care less what equipment you use, how old it is, or how inconvenient it is for you to resize your...

I have a friend at work that asked me to evaluate some of his collection. Now, I know what I'd probably grade them, but when you have one of the...
you can (send it early bird), but you must also factor in the postage and insurance (both ways) that and the packaging cost a total of $14 and...
