While scary, it was inevitable. It was only a matter of time that they figured out if you verify a valid number on the PCGS site, the coin shown...
I agree completely. That coin sells on Heritage in VF-25 for $200-$250, and VF-30 for $300-$400. I believe the rest of them you'll have no...

Completing any set, even if it is short, is an accomplishment! I really like the clever idea of your extra 3 commems. That's a nice touch to...
