I personally would much rather have one coin that makes everyone go "WOW" than 2 or 3 that are "Meh" or "That's really cool, but...". It's always...
1. Where are you seeing environmental damage? I don't see it in your pics. 2. What is "improper" about this storage? The board was designed for...
The coin itself appears to be high quality, attractive, and original. Thus, it is definitely something special. The letters you speak of on the...
What are these counterstamps for, and why are they popular? I don't get it - someone explain it to me.
