Well, you can look at that way I guess. But I fail to see how a person could, or should, do that. I say that because you looked at the menu when...
Use the Heritage archives. They make note of the varieties in many if not most cases.
What he said !
That's the Frank I know ! It makes me kinda nervous when you agree with me Frank :D
This is the damage I was referring to - [ATTACH] When metal is displaced that badly and with all of those swirls from scrapes, scratches,...

You don't need any new machines Chris, spark erosion and electrotype methods have been around for many years and both copy every detail of a...
Investing in slabbed Morgans ? I'll say one word - don't.
