With the treaty of Fez in 1912, France made Morocco a protectorate. The country was nominally autonomous, but essentially under direct French...
Kanga, that's exactly how I post pictures on Ebay. There is no sense at all paying Ebay 15 cents a pic if I can host them perfectly fine on a free...
Coins were usually much more roughly treated in earlier eras. Plus, they had a lot more years to get beat up.
Just got this press release from the ANA PMG to Grade and Encapsulate ANA Bebee Collection of Paper Money Project Enables ANA to Showcase...
Looking at the only example sold on Heritage, that baby is waaaaay outta my price range, at least right now. I'm outta cash after buying that PL...

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you had influenced the market to a small degree, Paul, but the toned market is larger than just these...
Where do you want me to start? I've got about 50 Franklins, maybe more. I guess I'll start with one I don't post very often, my only proof: (if...
Fantastic 1921 Sparrow!!! Very well struck, shiny, lustrous, mmmmmmmmm....... My only Peace is currently with Bob getting its picture taken.
Believe me, I too know all about toning. Newer Whitman albums probably will not tone as well or as fast. You need albums from teh 60's that...
