Try reading the disclaimer written right in the book - it states flat out that they use the highest prices ever recorded for any given coin.
Own the same book, have for years - it's truly a must have.
It's damage, couldn't be anything else precisely because the inner edge of the rim has been moved inwards. If the collar or die were damaged - and...
No such single book exist. But there are virtually an infinite number of books that a seasoned collector needs or should have. That's because...
Not really, it's always been that way. It's just that most people were not aware of it. As they say, ignorance is bliss - there's a reason they...
