I'm in the EF camp as well. The shield exhibits little wear - and neither do the reverse devices. If it were actually worn (and not a striking...
I certainly can't speak for anyone else here, but my most valuable coin accounts for 2-3% of my net worth, and I have a few of those (well, that's...
I personally don't spend time on the PCGS boards. In my mind, PCGS, NGC, and CoinTalk are the 3 major coin forums on the internet (in terms of...
Haha, the animation was brilliant. Of course, I am familiar with Rick Snow's website. Been there many times. But you'll also notice that there's...
