Personally, I would vote for any kind of non-numismatic coin pleases you. I say this since I would never wish to advocate a numismatic piece being...
Just for clarity, though, you say graded. What grade? Also, shouldn't you consider, if you are talking about the price of a 70, the fact you could...
I did, just sharing now with CT. :) Point taken. I doubt they will stop the program now, as it would probably now be seen as sexist to do...
I agree like Martha Washington and Dolly Madison, but the point is they weren't even IN office. They just happened to be married to a man in...
