To each his own I suppose. But those who are unwilling to not only recognize but also acknowledge the benefit of knowledge, regardless of its...
I certainly wouldn't say unc details as the coin has obvious wear. And while I can't see tell tale scratches from a harsh cleaning I can see signs...
Well I wouldn't quite say that Ken, but I can say that I used to give them away :) Back when I used to collect US coins I ran across another...
Like you I always wanted a Charles V coin too since he holds a somewhat special place in history, but mine were gold not silver. And struck in the...

I don't think you could that with a stick Larry ! Not even a big stick ! :D @Insider edit - I will add that I agree wholeheartedly with the...
