It reads like one giant "personal anecdote" Fatima. Not believable in the slightest. What kind of mumbo jumbo gobblygook is that last paragraph?...
It was my fault. I never meant to disparage your field, I was just grasping for an analogy of how someone may not have the intentions you think....
So you think its bag toning? Could be, its just less common than woody toning is on these. Either way looks pretty natural.
I would say maybe its more a function that we both moved out of US coins for an extended period and look back at the US market now and find it...
Gee, I wonder how TPGers even started since there were no TPGers to submit to. How in the world did anyone know how to grade and authenticate? ;)
I know man, it is funny how many different word they have for what is effectively the exact same thing. Problem with having a wide range of...
That's all I have, a bunch of change. Well, some of the change is Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Persian, and some is just WL halves and the like, but...
