No, they just don't assign the FBL designation to Proofs. But that doesn't mean that all of them do have full bell lines. The pic isn't the best,...
I understand what you're saying pk, and if it works for you that's fine. But it doesn't it doesn't mean that what I said isn't true. All I am...
Yeah they have Paul, I used to pay 0.50/100.
I understand what you're saying Doug, but is not that green patina still just the result of toning that has gone on for a very long time ? I...
From what I can see in your picture, no it would not.
