I was trying to place an order with the U.S. this morning and was stopped by the requirement to accept "the terms and conditions." I could not...
I am not confused at all. I would not touch that coin. I guess ancient coins are different from U.S. coins. They are immune, according to you,...
If it is possible, folks who spot these fakes should post pictures. Once the item has been taken down, it’s impossible to learn something about...
My guess is there was an ugly black spot there, and someone scraped it off in an uncouth manner. No, the coin does not deserve a straight grade.
