No way, unless about 20,000 are found in MS-65 and higher. :D
I am a member of one of the largest astronomy clubs in the country and our annual space & expo show featured The Meteorite Men for a few years...
It's a bit counterintuitive that you have softer metals like MSDs (silver) and Saints (gold) much older, yet better preserved and in high grades...
So I've been told....:D
Agrace, since you DID start this thread and are new here...what coins DO you like and/or collect ? Are you into moderns and/or Lincoln pennies,...
