I'd say 64 if the luster is there - those hits hold it back. And no, it's not worth it.
You might want to check that Conder because the Frenchman who invented the system for Louis XIII in 1643 is the guy who went to England,...
Ahhhh the heck with rollin up the sleeves. I'm gettin ma gun ! :D
Do you hate people for the kind of ice cream they like too ? Either way, I'd join that club for I have always hated Barbers. From the first time I...
Yup, I can. And I reported the losses too.
Chris your definition of Proof is quite true in many cases - meaning something that is produced for approval. The word proof is used when talking...

My bet would be it was taped, just based on your description.

The law has already been repealed - so forget it.
But isn't that kind of the problem with everything, and why so many people get confused when it comes to terminology - people choose to use their...
Yes they were. But prior to '58 the Proofs were not made every year, it was hit and miss. Prior to that Proofs were only made by request. And not...
Looks like a typical brilliant Proof to me. I'd say a 64. And not all Proofs have any contrast, only the cameo examples do.
Well that's kind of the thing Chris, Proofs have always been struck more than once. Even the oldest ones like the one I mentioned was struck more...
But not all Proofs have mirrored fields. Think about the Satin and Matte Proofs.
I'll go with this one, the franc a cheval, struck in 1364. I'll let you guys look up the story. Trust me, it'll be fun ;)
