I didn't know the name Tapiovaara but when I googled him recognized a few of his chairs. According to wiki he cites Aalto as an influence, which I...
I really like the inventive approach to this coin although I can't imagine it working (i.e., being acceptable enough) for anything other than a...
I have several slabs that have fibers in them and it really irks me. I have a nice toned Morgan in a prong-style NGC holder and one of the four...
Yeah, I can't imagine anyone throwing one of these into a fountain to make a wish. I'm also curious about the two languages, suggesting a...

Here is a beautiful Barber Dime in a PCGS slab in which the inner plastic insert has rotated dramatically from its proper orientation. Note that...
