These sort of hazy white milk spots are unfortunately very common. That one is more extensive than usual, and unfortunately placed over his...
Wow, now that is interesting, D!
Grade reveal Monday evening. Get your guesses in now!
Well... it closed at $391. I think a fair price for this coin, based on Heritage sales, would have been in the $200 - $250 range. That is where...
