I agree with Doug, they were made to mimic what collectors were doing. I would not keep any in these. I have seen lots of good coins still...
Good idea. I think real estate is not a bad area either right now. In some areas its still kind of pricey versus incomes. I would look at your...
I might go AU 50 on the grade, but it really should get certified. Any who know me are probably shocked, but these are so faked nowadays you...
Lots of ways. Lots of bad ways, (easy to see they are AT), and a couple of "good" ways that most would never be able to know. AT used to be used...
