Assuming that real fraud exists, you're probably doing all that you feasibly can by posting this thread on a forum filled with potential coin...
I really hope that they come up with a decent design for this one, because it's a pretty significant event and should get more press. Although it...
I received the 2020 JNDA about a week ago and, though it lists both of the coins, my copy did not include mintages for any of the 2019 coins,...

I came across this display in a magic store in San Francisco. The coins were actually pretty large, maybe 4 - 5 inches in diameter. I was amazed...
That's fair and thank you. I probably should have added that it was being treated like junk by the LCS, as it was in a box with other very worn...
