Yes, removing from the slab is a non-issue for me. I had it looked at to confirm my own suspicions. Thought having a third party validation would...
Update. The company responded the below: “According to § 10 “Handling with Grading-Companies” of our Auction Terms and Conditions: “We do not...
Thanks for all your insight, this is more reassuring. I honestly did not want to return at first like mentioned in op in order to keep a good...
Thanks for your honest opinion, Pete. Appreciate it
It’s white/offwhite. Hard to tell. Im leaning more towards modern as opposed to ancient. Id assume over thousands of years, dirt and debris would...
