Well, I checked the first one - 1889-CC in F12 - and found no record of a sale price in 2009 reaching $900, much less $1200. I've no idea where...
Good grief.
I'd buy both, but that's just me. :)
The majority of new members around here seem to have no concept of online security - they apparently even post their faces as avatars - and little...
Your thinking is pretty much completely correct. It's unlikely that large a chunk taken out of the coin would get it into a "straight" slab, even...
