Quite often Mercury. Everyone saying to give them to kids is insane.
The problem is, many of these were reprocessed with Mercury. Definitely not something you want in the lake, or in the hands of children. A few...
An excellent book, and I highly recommend it for the specialist. Not a book for a beginner, but it thoroughly describes the history and...
Fantastic story! Thanks for sharing, I really appreciated that.
Cool coin, and it looks really nice. Out of curiosity, how many of the conspirators have coins? I knew about Brutus, but I didn't know Cassius...

Holy freaking cow. How could you possibly compare that to the linked genuine slab and look at it for more than approximaly 0.24 seconds and think...
The 64 Kennedy might be a proof, the 1962 Franklin definitely is. Not much premium in their condition. The other Franklin is most definitely not...
What's your topic? Sorry I'll miss it. Mom and I are going to Antarctica.
