Neat thread. My German ancestors immigrated to America in 1754 aboard an English ship - which has nothing to do with the first classic...
As johnmilton said, OGP is nearly always preferable to aftermarket but if it's compromised you may have no choice but to replace it. I found this...
Lots of people do it. Discoloration is often the result of a hole or tear in the cello pack - even a small one lets bad air in. If the cello packs...
I got one Peace dollar on my lunch break today without too much trouble. I snagged an S-Morgan last week only because I was curious about the web...

You gotta go reverse proof totally bring out the awfulness of that design. [ATTACH]
I got one S-Morgan and I didn't even want one, LOL. I was reading my e-mail on my lunch break and saw the reminder from the mint around 12:10. I...
