Yes, that’s why there is a reported coin shortage. Coins are not getting out into circulation because people are not getting out in circulation....
Thanks for the complement. It’s not a new purchase. I bought that coin in 2007 at an Early American Coppers convention. Since the market has...
I have purchased a few coins from David Lawrence and have been pleased. The trouble is they deal mostly in American coins, and I have moved away...
If it's any help, here is my Richard I penny. I identified it as a North 968. I bought from Sovereign Rarities when they were at the 2020 Winter...
