Yeah, I do not recognize L&M. For cash, S is Schjoth, H is Hartill, C is Coole. Btw CNG does not have a L&M listing in their bibliography....
Its a nice coin man. I think everyone was gaming it, thinking you were bragging. :) I don't think you will regret what you paid, for pretty...
I agree this will damage the coin. Yes, coins that have been cleaned by people who do not know what they are doing have destroyed 99.9% of...
I like the color, but I find many 64's toned well. Most of these were pulled from circulation straight from banks, so are fully lusterous BU, and...
I understand, and its a great point, I was just pointing out how the US is at least a little different than others. The point, really, is that...

My advice would be that you NEED education. I would offer to work cheaply for a local dealer and learn the ropes. Nothing in the world will...
