I see something that looks a bit like a ghostly D, but it's much smaller than the actual mint mark. I suspect you're just seeing a pattern in the...
What do I read? You're soaking in it! :rolleyes: What branches of the hobby interest you most?
Eh? Littleton's been around for ages, and I remember all sorts of mail-order ads in the coin magazines when I was a little kid in the 60's...

Yes. They won't slab coins that aren't authentic. In the rare cases where they themselves are fooled, they back up their position with a guarantee...
He's selling several four- and five-figure coins, showing only photos taken from computer screens. He's getting dates and mint-marks wrong in...
