Not a problem - I figured out lincoln penny proofs on you second post. I am amazed at what some of these are bringing - same with the rolls. I...
Very nice gift. Very nice indeed.
Nice thread! I agree some of these are over graded, but I think they are an excellent example of how PCGS(or TPG's) in general grade key and...
Nice set!
At least put it in an airtite.
Well if you look around on ebay you will see empty boxes or holders for sale all the time. Plus some dealers by a lot of sets - so the ones they...
