The rarest coin I have. Neither one is particularly rare in and of itself: First, probably a this trade dollar. Find another one like it in...
Agreed, but the result of the coin is very different for those three substances (one is a cleaner, anthoer is an oil/condition, and the third is a...
Market Acceptable. To be more clear: IMO, that coin has been artifically toned with the use of MS 70. NGC looked the other way and slabbed...

p.s. I agree with Mark's observations/advice above too. I would suggest you go to your first show and just look. Spend $100 on something that...
If you are looking at your purchase as an "investment" (which is a bad idea, in my opinion), then I would suggest that you focus on those coins...
