..because that is the coin dealer's game, right? ;) Seriously, I agree. If looking at a coin I might mention its flaws casually, but I do not go...
Eh, unless its something like a 2015 UHR gold or a similar modern coin, then its apples and oranges anyway. You need to SEE the coin to know how...
Nice one. I wish I had a pic of mine. Its a very interesting coin. However, so is your red cash. Xinjiang cash in the Ching period were called...
