I've actually had a *lot* of success since I got home. I'll be posting them once they arrive.
I've been called many things, but I have to say - Ishtar is a first.
A low grade is acceptable when you decide it is acceptable! It's your collection, build it how you want. If you want your collection to only...
Not really a specific date range: usually, I use the term "contemporary counterfeit" for fakes made during the production of the coin, or while...
Wow, now that I see pictures of the California, I am completely ashamed that I did not instantly call that counterfeit. (I'm one of the ones that...
I'd have to see the luster - if the luster is there, no question it gets a star. If the luster isn't all there, probably no star.
