The LIBERTY was recessed, and with heavier circulation the LIBERTY can still be clear but "weird" looking. I always called it "ghosting" when I...
Not Judaic. Looks more like something South Asian/SE Asian. Is it tin? That would point to Indonesia maybe. If it is tin, (light), I would search...
If my post will be over edited, I will simply delete it entirely.
I agree as well. The "ghosting" of the word Liberty on circulated coins happens and can sometimes look kind of strange. "Damage" is a moving...
Government backed, non-VA and non-Jumbo mortgages. I got lucky since mine was already locked and a VA loan.

I would view it as more of a function of CT taxes. They are as brutal as NYC taxes nowadays. I view the states in the NE have pushed to the edge...
Fair enough. I never said one Ebay coin dealer wanting to try to eliminate others made sense, (no barriers to entry, identical "location", endless...
I buy product from other producers and mark it up and make a good profit. The reason they would want to buy from me is customer service, hedging...
