I don't disagree sir, and have said many times those who refuse to pay for a better coin in the grade are doomed to have mediocre coins. I was...
I see the "lack of buzz" over these will hold prices down as much as the higher mintage. Last years set was hot in large part over the controversy...
Well, it woudl STILL be less eggregious than a HONG KONG Continental dollar. ;)
Well, that explains it then. Should be much easier. :) I did pull out all of the world gold and most of the silver in threw it in SDB for safe...
I am afraid I am probably past that point if coins were larger. Thankfully my compulsion are tiny little pieces of metal. :) Btw, no, I never...
