Different animal entirely. Yes, there are deliberate errors made by scammers at the mint. But they are not acting in any official capacity. They...
I agree, I think it is an extremely attractive coin. But if you compared that coin to a freshly struck .900 silver coin, I think you would also...

Wouldn't it be easier to just start your own list and keep it handy ? That way we don't have to worry about the forum being at risk.
