Looking at pics on the net is sight unseen - every single time. Sight seen is when you can hold the coin in your hand and only then.
They will, if you ask them to attribute the coin and pay for the service, they'll do it. That said, NGC and PCGS will only attribute some of...
Anybody who wanted the knowledge to be able to buy $5000 coins.
I've told you before, I've spent 3 years looking for specific books. Eventually one pops up. That's how the good ones are - nobody wants to let...
