Why? [IMG] FWIW, the coin you posted is very interesting but I doubt that toning would bring much of a premium. It does however redefine...
I don't follow you BNB. I think a price of a few hundred bucks in VF grades is very strong for a 20th century coin. What are you comparing it to...
The 1943-P was in my registry set at one point. I first upgraded to an MS67 5FS and then upgraded that coin to an MS67*. The upgrades caused the...

I offered to trade my entire collection for that coin. You won't believe it! He turned me down and said he was going to wait for a better offer....
Okay, That word scares me more than the number! Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I think that distinction belongs to Mr. Marguli. The weird part about this is that I have been seeing the number 666 everywhere for the last...
The reverse fields look like they have a starburst effect and neither side is showing luster in the fields. You have basically stated that the...
