Oh, I guess it's strike and luster differences (like Josh and Jaelus above had said) that account for the differences in grades. I also don't...
Well, 1983 must have been after Ren and Stimpy destroyed the memorial: [MEDIA]
Ugly people of the world unite! Yeah, Charles and I can't really help that we're ugly. Sheesh. Right... what's with her looking down? Kinda...
Just got this pretty decent example of the Japanese key date Showa 32 (1957) 10 Yen coin. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Try to suggest that they fix it sometime. Or perhaps you can just scratch that: I've been THERE before with suggestions to glaring factual...

I've had my "eyes on" S. Korean 10 Won coins now for about ten years. I've seen hundreds of coins in-hand, and hundreds more via...
Very nice images. Having static images of corner-to-corner sharp quality can help you grade surface preservation for sure. I always find...
