Nice! I have 5 uncirculated 1950s Lincolns that came from a Whitman album that have this kind of toning. I've probably posted them here before....
Eliasberg 1879 Quintuple Stella pattern, Mormon $10 gold come to mind. Also shot the Smithsonian's 1849 and 1933 $20s, but those were in their...
In 50 years, all the Washington medals made in the 1860s will be 200 years old. There'll be a Well Managed Promotion to make those popular and...
