I'm really not a dummy (or am I)?, but I have searched engines and coin forums and cannot find specific instructions on how to pack coins for...
Received three. Opened one. Very disappointed in overall quality- I guess I'm too used to proof coins. My D set was better than the P set, and...
I agree about the lighting, and I have checked out a lighting store. I was looking for a 5000 Kelvin Compact Flourescent photography bulb that was...
