The truth is, there's a lot of odd rationalization when it comes to grading. Rubbing a coin across not-very-rough surfaces produces a...
Die cracks for sure; on the remote-access display I'm using at the moment, I can't see well enough to tell if there are clashes as well. It's a...
Ladies and gentlemen, "civility".
And I'm seeing a 2. Time to consult the Rorschach interpretation guide...
Can't say I blame them. We spent the first couple of years in our house trying to eradicate the mint previous owners had planted in the front bed....
