I like collect what I call inflection points a lot when I collected US coins. An example would be a 27s quarter, when I was buying them a g was...
Understood, that is why I notated, "if the photo is representative". I have seen coins tone in the slab though, some fortunately some...
ASE's will tone quickly due to the purity levels of the silver versus 90% coinage and the fact silver is so very reactive. It is in fact the 10%...
