As a follow up to my last answer just watch for any post from someone named Clinker. I print out most of his post. Usually really educational.
WELCOME TO THE FORUM. I suggest as already mentioned stay on this web site. There are tons of books out there on coins. Many appear to be...
I have to agree with this since I'm a not toned coin person. I like coins that look original and to me toned, tarnished, corroded coins are just...
Naturally someone always beats me to that one. However, to carry this a bit further. If you do go to that web site you might find that the...
Fantastic answer. Thanks. I didn't think anyone knew all this but you sure do. So I did purchase that coin and since I was comparing it to all my...
