Why hold coin shows in winter ? The one thing that has not been mentioned yet is because it is traditional. Coin shows have been held in the...
Based on your questions and comments I'd have to say that it seems you have no understanding of what happens when you dip a coin, or the dipping...
If it was dipped correctly, it looks like an ordinary Proof coin that has no toning. Some people seem to think that when a coin is dipped that...
Before anyone else gets any ideas and thinks that pushing the rules might be "funny", well ask yourself this question - do you like being a member...
Possible, yes. Probable, not so much. But there is something else that is very possible, that the coin above if photographed from a slightly...
Well OK, that said there is a private section for dealers that nobody else can even see except those who pay and become registered as a dealer on...
