OK I know some of my schedule now. I will be there Thursday the 18th and Friday the 19th. On Thursday I'll be at the Liberty Seated Coin Club...
The mint DID make a medal to "show off" the new steam press, but this wasn't it. In fact they didn't HAVE a steam press in 1832. It came in 1836.
NGC now has a deal with numismaster that now provides all of Numismaster with the values for free to anyone who wants to use it. If you go to...
That's a good thing because if you did want them to dress up like playboy bunnies we would all be seriously worried about you. A podcast of...
