[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Someday I might buy a Proof With Rays Nickel, but for now it's a Mint State piece. I bought the first piece raw almost 30...
Here is the only brockage I have. It is counterfeit, British made, British half penny. This was far more affordable than a U.S. coin brockage....
There is actually a collector group here in Florida who continues to make these things.
I have been fascinated by the Twenty Cent Piece since high school. Back then I collected all the pieces in the collection that I could afford,...
