Fair enough sir, I just thought I had read the spanish coins were slicks, and had lost significant weight, so that US coins were inherently...
Sir, I do not know the specific names of the Securitization structures they created, there are thousands of them out there. I simply know the...
We used to import extremely heavily Fatima. The low gas prices in the 90's were a result of the massive imports of gasoline into the US from...
I agree with Doug's post. :) I would add that rarity scales for "common" coins can be very misleading in RIC since they were based on...
