This is the one major point where you and I disagree severely Cloud. Tell this to the US Farmer. About half of the food grown in this country...
I have a stereo microscope that will go to 72x and no coin is perfect. Moon rocks is right. When I collected US coins I never allowed myself...
Agreed. This is not one of those you will have nightmares about it getting away Tim. Just walk away.
It sure is easy for an ancient collector. VG details=VG grade. Life is a lot simpler in our little corner of the world until some US collector...
It was a nice change of pace, I liked the designs, but they were "new" so everyone saved them. The best things to invest in are those things no...
