I have a bad feeling about this one. Most likely this is a private mint and the "coins" you have are not really coins at all. Rather they are...
Yep, looks like it's missing its copper plating. Very collectable but I don't know the value.
Has anybody seen my car keys? :goofer:
Yeah, that's a great book. Bill Fivaz was one of the instructors in my grading class at Summer Seminar. One day he signed both of my copies (Vol.1...
