I have examined that coin in hand. It is a nice coin but it is not perfect. I remember seeing adjustment marks that were somewhat distracting. The...
Actually there were 12,000 Business Strikes minted but it is still an exceedingly rare coin. So when you see a raw 1895 Morgan Dollar you should...
Definitely the show is fake. The customers may be genuine customers but I guarantee you they are not filmed their first time in the store. After...

Murder, rape, robbery, and burglary are illegal but people "still do" them every day.
