Which would you rather have, the OP coin or this? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] GTG if you like, a bit much toning but looks natural.
Fortunately it is not as difficult as chemistry class with regards to precision and so the quantities are not all that important but will give...
Yes, a numbered proof #127. Coin is 14k/ 585 fine . I have had similarly graded coins go through the TPGs with no problems. The beauty of the...
