Yes, but not by much. $300 would do it with luck; $400 would do a nice PF65. MS64 is within reach at $200.
Copper, especially. There's a reason why it was/is used for roofing material; it's all but impermeable once the patina is formed and does not...
Yep. :)
Oops. :P They're kinda cool, too. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
We can't be completely sure what mechanism caused it, aside knowing it was postmint, but we refer to them as "dryer coins" or "spooned" coins. The...

I'm a genuine ADHD patient, diagnosed, and my collection - such as it is - kinda reflects that. My life crashed 3 years ago and I had to sell a...

Separate names with a comma.
