Virtually every single Morgan issue has VNA's. Most of them are there because they haven't yet been matched with existing VAMs. VAMming is nowhere...
Nothing wrong with cardboard 2x2's for long term storage. More important is what you choose to store those 2x2's in. I'm a big fan of food-grade...
A scanner does not create lifelike images of a coin. A decent scanner (most of them) combined with appropriate technique (the sharpest results a...

Here's a collar: [ATTACH] Imagine it coming loose relative to the coin, and tilting so that the reeds don't completely cover the sides of the...
They didn't see that was a partial collar here? You can see it in the slab, fer crying out loud. So, jrr888, rather than just blow you off, I'll...
