No apologies needed man. Its a hobby, and you bought what made you happy. No one should judge that. Good job!
If the story is true, and if it were a non-profit, their accounting and auditing standards are much more lax than for profits. I do not think it...
Thankfully they did such a poor job on Abe's bust or it would be more deceptive. The reverse, while not perfect after close observation, is good...
Well that is what makes markets, different wants and needs right? Sorry, but since so many morgans simply sat in vaults for 80 years, I do not...
Like Jim alluded to, there is much more going on than just PR. The lawyers are involved, and since I have been in this situation I know how...
How much is a 72s worth? I can tell you the cost of striking such a piece, even if made up of the correct composition, is probably less than a...
Actually the fact those initials were not on the obverse from 1909 to 1918 is very helpful. I have seen some very good fake 1914d's that are...
