What size city do you live in? Is there a city within reasonable driving distance that might have a more active club? If this isn't an option, are...
Pretty funny.
Given that the WE in the motto is without wear (judging by these photos), I'm going with others who say unc. The left side is obviously weakly...
Or maybe they just bought groceries. Not sure how ignorance of the value of coins equates to evil or recklessness in your mind.
It also happens frequently when museum-goers try to make sense of or find meaning in "abstract" or non-representational art. Rather than...
The risk of fraud is going to permeate all aspects of our digital world going forward and will remain a huge challenge, but I don't think it's...

Don't get me wrong; I'll fight to the death for your right to enjoy yourself (if emojis are what it takes); it's just that they kinda get in the...

I don't believe things that are common by nature, such as $50-$100 coins, ever have much potential as a vehicle for growth, regardless of the...
I'd doubt anyone here would disagree. As to whether it's detrimental, I'd say that would depend on the respective consumer. A disciplined and...
I'm not seeing this level of wear either, especially on the ribbon and motto. Doug shows no mercy.
What I find interesting about this thread is, regardless of level of expertise, I'd doubt any poster here would feel comfortable saying he knew...
Thanks, jello.
