So is Pommern the same as Pomerania? Many years ago (ca. 2001) I picked up a Pomeranian taler (1633) which I've kept in my Polish collection...
I have one but it's the restrike, made by the Peruvian Gov't for the 1921 Centennial of Independence. It's also MS but purchased long before...
I'm going for ms-66.
I love Ikes. Unfortunately I don't have any really nice ones. I'll go with ms-65.
Been a long time since I've bought a Morgan. Circs used to cost me $3.25 although I paid $15 apiece for the GSA Carson City pieces. This one is...
My situation exactly. I guess defense contractors are pretty happy that they'll soon be getting orders to replace the 85 billion $ of equipment...
