I think you will find that if you tilt the coin just a little, your problem will disappear. I use 1 or 2 casino chips under the bottom edge of...
With a mintage of 203 million, don't count on it. The 1941 is commonly found with a full strike and full steps and is not rare in the premium gem...

I don't know what you are asking, but the CSNS is one of the largest auctions/show held every year. 2011 April Rosemont CSNS Signature &...
