I always used a sniping service so my one-and-only bid would post with mere seconds left in the auction. It didn't leave enough time for ordinary...
You shouldn't feel that way. Numismatics can be a complicated hobby to learn, and there is nothing wrong with asking questions. Remember, there is...
First, welcome to the neighborhood @Abbysunder ! Your image is too small for me to tell. It's best if you crop out the extraneous background and,...
It's not easy to find. I was lucky to find a seller in London quite a few years ago who had several new copies. He was asking $225 USD. I offered...
