Ah, he's revised it. Previously, he had "proof like" in the title as well as the description, and "BU" in the description. It's still listed as...
1881-O silver morgan dollar proof like I've been concerned about my vision getting worse as I age, but now I can see that there could be...
Now, yes. In 1987, of course, not so much. :)
Yes. Going back and rereading what I wrote, the tone of my last paragraph is a little unclear. You're already "not being like" the guy I dealt...
That hint of an extra digit behind the second "1" reminds me of the coin that launched this thread. In that case, I could've saved myself some...
Hey, maybe I'll start a "harshly cleaned" 7070! Off to the coin shop for an album, and then to Wal-Mart for some Brillo pads... :devil:

"Federal agents in a local grocery store" may be a stretch. But you might find it enlightening to go to your local grocery or pharmacy and try to...
