From an article first published in Coin World Sept. 16, 1996, by Michael P. Lantz - one of the mint employees who was there, who actually helped...
Not necessarily. Just because a coin or a dollar bill in any denomination is indeed legal tender, that does not mean that anybody is required by...
OK, here's the pic you were trying to upload, no problems with the picture itself. [ATTACH]
To me that's an F12.
Only thing I can think of is that there is something about this specific file that is causing you to get the error message. I just sent you a PM...
He's just asking for some clarification on your part, namely how exactly you define common BU. For example, with most coins anything MS64 and...

I know Jim, I realized and understood your thoughts all along. But that doesn't change anything for me for I still have to believe what I see with...
I'd hate to hazard a guess as to what they said. As for me, I think everybody can guess what I'd say. When it comes to grading, size matters....
God willin and the crick don't rise ;)
Well Thad, I merely offer it as food for thought. Personally I go by my experience and what I have seen with my own eyes. And since I have seen...
