Quite honestly the opposite. I don't disagree that the series is ugly. In fact I don't consider them very pretty either as far as their designs...
More than the equivalent years due to lower mintages. All depends on what it is, what grade, etc. Blue or brown? Graded or UNC? If it's...
Cool! I've always wondered whom else nabbed a few of these. Good to see that these landed in good hands. You've got a PM on its way.
Unfortunately this uninformed opinion is what has made the series languish at low levels of interest for quite a while. I firmly believe this...
I use gavelsnipe as well, 99% of my auction bids are done with it. I never used to max bid early either, I'd watch the auction and manually bid...
