This is an excellent point that I failed to specify in my original post. My observations have mostly been limited to graded material. The bulk of...
I've noted a significant uptick in the heat for the material I collect. Even some of the common stuff is selling for 2-3X what it would have...
It immediately made me think of you and our conversations. It was a pretty piece, but given the history, it seemed a bit overhyped to me. The Vice...

@ColonialCoinsUK thank you for the info. I always enjoy a good hunt.
