That price range nowadays will most likely get you a F or one with a modest bankers test cut. Nice VF Tets are higher than that now.
Another resource would be electronic auctions like CNG, vauctions, agora, roma, etc. I just by accident happen to know CNG has a nice run of...
I have neevr seen one either. Really, really cool though. :)
Yes sir you are correct. That is why they are dings and scratches, not smooth wear patterns. I spent a time in this hobby with my binocular...
Really? On the 1882? That coin has definitive wear where Doug mentioned. I have never seen anyone claim THAT much wear as "cabinet friction" or...

Do something like what? I am not a beat reporter for Yahoo, and every time I have tried to contact reporters about correct information they are...
I wonder how David Vagi was "conveniently" in Vegas. I would much rather watch what LostDutchman has come into his shop. :D
Its well worn, so I am sure its deposition date is much later. Btw, "image of the hated emperor"? Heck, there were "fake Nero's" throughtout the...
