Could be VG details, but a much better picture is needed, not only for determining grade, but also for determining variety. As far as value, it...
Any grading scale (100 point, 70 point 5 star hotels, 3 star Michelin restaurants, etc.) is arbitrary. Hopefully, the scale represents some sort...
I like the addition of the earlier US type coins as separate categories. I just wish they had used the proper names (e.g., Liberty Cap instead of...
