Sent you my email in a PM. As to the price difference, not all fakes are made of gold, or the same fineness of gold. So the price difference could...
I haven't looked at prices for them in years, but I know they dropped to under $200 for either the Proof or the Unc. Saw that with my own eyes....
That's the one I was thinking of - got the name wrong. That figures though :o
I gave you what I thought the grade would/should be - 65. See the marks I circled on the cheek - that's why. As to the fingerprint on the...
