Any idea anyone?
You would hear more than I about rumors like that, but I do not think it would be very hard. Plastic is pretty easy to fill leaving little trace...
The peeling like a banana would probably be due to its sitting in the ground unprotected for 1400+ years. Lots of late Roman coins are in that...
Interesting double die. I would like to see it better outside its protective holder.
Yep. It is old English common law that is in force in the US. Each state has different rules and statutes, that is why I didn't really get into...
Hobo and Conder are both right. For land, both an easement and total loss of title of the land can be created by others use. The legal term as...
Fair enough Doug, but I believe the article said it could be circulation wear from 61 to 63, (since MS60 is no longer used). I agree about the...
