I see it now! So, JR-6 & JR-8 both have a pointy stemmed olive branch, with the obverse date being relatively level on JR-6 and the "8" of the...
You're doubling down by using a colloquialism that suggests I wear women's undergarments? Wow, coin collecting sure attracts people with great...
Picked up a 2012 £10 London Olympic Silver Commemorative from the Royal Mint (UK). It's a 5oz 99.9% silver hockey puck, but I rather like the...
