Yes, I think they were very wrong. I agree that you are willing to accept those as planchet marks. But I do not for 1 second agree that they...
Yes - I am talking about US coins. Here is a picture of what the overall coin market did in 1989 - [IMG] Here is a link where you can...
There have been several such periods, most notable was 1989. But we have been in another such period since 2008 and are still in it.
