So was I. IBTL. :P
Everybody eats fries with their cheeseburger, but you don't get fries at McDonald's unless you order them. PCGS would be out of business if they...
If it is completely unchanged in five years, @scottishmoney is likely correct. Were it a PVC problem, it would almost certainly have progressed -...
Me, too.
You know that thing about a roll of quarters in a sock? Well, this coin is four rolls of quarters in a sock. You'd only need to swing it once. :)

That's funny, because their "facts" differ here, including a 58 that sold at $2125 (where I got my price quote above):...
That type of buyer would say that even if the variety was on the slab. :)
I can see clear doubling in GOD, but the D looks to be doubled in a different spot than FS-104. 105 maybe? You're making an iPhone create images...
Variety is LM-6, BTW - note the filled S in STATES characteristic of that one. Not an uncommon variety, but be looking for all sorts of...
