What are you looking for? If its just to browse some cool coins, in both the venetian and Caesar's there is a shop that sells ancients both raw...
Yeah, Most New Yorkers, especially those from the city, and especially those from Brooklyn, aren't really noted for subtlety. I mean no disrespect...
They basically used new computer engravin capabilities to remove almost all relief from coinage but still keep details. They did it to remove...
As an aside BU, I have to commend you for posting a "Guess this grade". It always seems like people take cheap shots when someone posts something...
