sonofagun. Totally right. Looks like I will keep looking for a better specimen...
Thank you! Looks like I might be doing better than I thought. I figured VF-20. Will get the Red Book shortly
Attached is a little gem I found in my father's pile. I am curious about the grade. I'm still absorbing what I can to get a better sense, but I...
The Wizard's supply looks great. Thank you for the information. I have some bank notes too that I'll be getting protection for. I'll look into...
