What would be the difference between uncirculated and bullion? A matte finish?
If you look at Roman coins, there are many coins with the Augusta on them. You could maybe get her intereseted that way, let her read about the...
My crystal ball is broken this week, but my idiot guess would be if they sell out to see them fall in value in the future. I would be interested...
Yeah, I agree Kryponitecomic. Like I have said before, I liked toned coins years ago before they were cool, but its really sad now that many...
