I'm no fan of US Mint capsules, and I've been putting my coins in black ring Air-Tites, as the US Mint capsules are too loose a fit for my liking,...
You should bid your max in the last few seconds, depending on how fast and reliable your internet connection is. And, coins tend to remain on the...
I know that some folks don't want to get tied down and forget to bid at the last moment at a particular time that may be several days away. And,...
Thanks for clearing that up for 2008 and some of the other years! That's was what was confusing me so much.
Thanks, is it the same thing with the proof 2008 Kookaburra too? All the examples I'm finding have matte fields.
Why is the Kookaburra 1 oz silver coins not proof? I can see that the fields are matte, but it's more consistent with a reverse proof in the...
