And Jack - when did you join WINS ?
I think somebody may have over-dipped that one. Look inside the 0 and 9 of the date, and inside the O in OF - looks like dip residue does. Then...
I would answer that with this - what is the single most commonly asked question there is about any coin ? What's it worth ? Who asks that...
Spartan - do a search using the key word - storage - and you'll find all the possible thoughts on the subject you could ever want.
That email has been making the rounds since about a month after the the first President dollar came out. It's uninformed people reacting to...
