Doug, I understand your frustration with this issue. However, your solution has not been well received by the membership of this forum. Instead...
None of those coins would pass my test because they are raw. When I see very common inexpensive coins with dramatic rainbow toning that is an...
Goldstone, That is a Morgan Dollar with great eye appeal and Shane is a top notch seller of rainbow toned coins. The price you paid is very...
