Lol, I bet Frank has gotten over me not winning very much lately. In fact, most of my dealers seem to have been doing well without me. I haven't...
IDK about your coins, but one of the strongest strikes for mercuries I have is a 45 micro S coin. They made tons of these, so I imagine they were...
Yeah, once its mounted most likely there is heat damage already there. I doubt it will ever be worth what an unmounted example will be.
All the more reason to have good reviews of good companies. :)
Lol, asking me if I bid $2700 on a coin! Well, ok maybe if it were the right one, but certainly not a late roman bronze, no offense. Well, I...
