The production premium is usually insane. But, which is a better sized unit for barter (in some insane world where the banks shut down for while...
Is the goal to tarnish them? Air tight, low humidity and temperature swing control are the most important for avoiding tarnish.
Dollar cost averaging is still one of the best ways to play the PM market without getting roller coastered. There isn't much silver coinage...

In your opinion, is it worth submitting for grading even if it comes back without a straight grade? I'm not all that familiar with this series &...
I'm leaning towards a damaged D. Might have taken a hit coming from 3:00. As I have not seen any others with a similar damaged MM, I'm guessing...
