I think the TPG's were originally established for the purpose of authentication. And, we very well need them for that. I have one slabbed coin. I...
Let's say a young person in 2050 starts a coin collection. That is 30 years from now. I can get a 30 year old quarter right now for 25 cents. I...
Is there a higher premium for those with the "early release", "first week of discovery" etc., as opposed to a label that only confirms the...
