Btw, I am NOT posting this article to poke fun at anyone. Nor am I posting it to be a jerk, (though I am sure many believe I am). I am posting...
Quoted for truth. No offense to dealers, but dealers seem to love to take profits, but hate taking "losses". In the mid 80's it took a few years...
I just bought the Unc. I had greedy local dealers, though. I think it cost me $8 per.
Its a function of it being a proof. That is the danger of these coins. I would tell others to only ever buy a toned proof if you can see it in...
