Drunk bidding? Friends don't allow friends to bid drunk ... maybe he/she doesn't have any. o_O Cal
Yes. Older, rare coins do get a more generous treatment from the grading services. They will often get a pass on things that would bring a...
I believe the New Rochelle half dollar was the first U.S. coin designed by a woman. I own only one classic silver commemorative ... and it's this...
So if you crack'em out, put'em in flips, fill out the form specifying the correct mint for each, and send'em for grading, ... how's it gonna be...
