Artificial toning and natural toning are meaningless terms. Toning that appears natural can be achieved with intent to tone the coin in an...
It's fine. I should have specified I meant a low bid. The idea is to let people know that someone else has spotted the auction as well so it may...
I didn't say to bid high I said to bid early. Bidding early and high is great if you like paying more money than you have to, and literally is of...
Do you want to get the cherrypick or not? For your information, it's built into the software. You can ask the seller a question. Any seller can...
