I have never done anything where I wouldn't have been satisfed if I had been dealing on the other side of the transaction.
I'm really not sure why the contractor isn't in prison. He burglarized the house and confessed to it. No lawsuit should be required, and the...
It's probably someone trying to perfect their "technique" before moving into the big time.
The Mint seems to have improved their production and packaging techniques, people handle them more carefully, collectors return coins that aren't...
