I tried to list some coins in auction format and was very disappointed by the outcome. Unless you have a very loyal following of customers like...
Artificially Toned coins are problem coins just like coins that are cleaned, whizzed, polished etc. And just like the vast majority of problem...
The 38-D is nice but I am afraid that the carbon spotting on the reverse will prevent it from an MS67 grade and the 38-D is very common in high...
