Thanks Petronius, very helpful. I admit that I know I own at least one of these, but cannot remember which. I sure hope its the pre-fascist one,...
Btw, another point about Facebook. In reality Facebook did exactly what they should have, maximized THEIR return on the sale of the stock. Always...
Eh, I bet more than a few here think were are simply the same person with two accounts. The one time we usually disagree, (about DCA), they...
I would stretch for low XF. It could be just because I love these coins. :) Was the reverse an aspect of Mussolini's trying to bring back the...
Lessoned learned from all of this: Don't ever post an Ebay auction here until it is over. :)
Fair enough, snob away. :) Btw Doug you could be right about the blue folders. I just remember this toning in old collections and groups fairly...
Well, Cloud has to prove nothing. Inflexion is the one who threw out the conjecture, and Cloud was simply saying it would have to be proven. He...

I saw lots of those in the past. I think some company put them together for sale in CW or such. All of the ones I saw were fresh from original...

I hear you Ruben, but for the most part these have been above ground, and were struck by machines. I love US copper and colonials myself, and...
