If it were me I'd grade it a 64, but a high end 64. Personally I don't see it being PL but that is hard to judge by pics alone as not all pics...
These coins in the 2x2s you mention - what exactly are they ? What I am asking here is date and denomination. And you say they are as perfect as...
It is safe to say that dipping is a common and accepted practice even today. It always has been. But Farouk used to polish his coins - with a...
