Put some AU or MS silver in those and see what happens. I believe this is a major source of toned coins on the market today. I have bought many...
That is fine to think Jim, I just know I own at least 5 ounces of it due to Asian culture that I cannot sell, but would have never bought. This...
Great points. Early one SL quarters were not even evaluated on Full Head, but Full Breast. If you had a choice between FS, grat details, and FS...
Well I am sure I speak for everyone hoping that everyone commenting here continues to post. Reading divergent opinions always have to clarify...
The last time I took time to go through Smithsonian holdings in person was when they had everything on display. I understand they took most of...
