I'll go with those who liked all of the types but I fall short of suggesting that we buy coins we don't like before we commit to buying them. I...
Is anyone willing to suggest that the SC on the Divus Augustus IS on the reverse. It depends on how you define reverse. Which side appears to...
If you research past CNG sales you will find a specialize collection of his that included many special types. All mine are quite ordinary. This...
What we still do not have is full disclosure of what was on that slab label. Who called it a fourree? What did that undisclosed expert say about...
