What I am about to post has nothing to do with gold plating or tungsten used to make fakes. But it has a whole lot to do with fake gold coins and...
Does it ? What I said above, has been going on for at least 15 years.
OK, following the topic of this thread, is this coin AT or NT ? [ATTACH]
For those who are skeptical of the story, I can understand why you are. But can you say that you have never seen PCGS, or NGC, upgrade a coin...
Imagine that :rolleyes: And that is why, as I have said more times than I can count, that you need to buy all the books you can find on any given...
