I would be a third path in this state quarter discussion, (btw excellent point about cent collectors of years ago being the same). To me,...
I agree it could happen. For those who might Google this string, "professional cleaning" means a coin cleaned by a coin expert, not a jeweler,...
Many things are affecting coin shows. One, the cost of hotels, etc keeps increasing making it more expensive to travel there. Two, most good...
Yeah, you never really know what is under toning. I have personally removed some very dark toning before, (many times in an attempt to save the...
This post is exactly what I hear. That is why I am frozen by being cheap. Given what I hear people get when they sell, it's hard for me to stomach...
My MIL only speaks Thai, and I do not understand her most of the time. Perfect combination, we get along great!
