I'm confused. Four years later you're back with a new user name to brag about how much you think a coin that you gave away is worth? One that...
I bought these around 1971-72 with lawn mowing money ($5 for 1 acre sized lawns). Everything was graded and sold this way - 2x2, letter grades....
Likely. I think he trained there before shipping out to Germany. I recall a story about how they accidentally put a dummy shell through a German...
Sorry for the delay, I missed your reply. My CPG five are in post #7 on this thread. I think CPG then wanted it trimmed to 3 or 4. I wrote up and...
Veterans in my family (in the US) go back to the French and Indian War and probably if there was one before that (my war history is weak). Here is...

Are you trying to post a new thread or only trying to respond to an existing thread? One of the forums had a criteria where you couldn't post a...
I had not heard of the second book. I can't find much about what it covers, but an ebay listing indicates it includes medals and currency? If RPDs...
Yes, I did that multiple times. "This item cannot be found." Clearly it's still in an NCS slab since it's a current auction. It's graded AU...
I see a coin up for auction in a Numismatic Conservation Services slab but I'll be danged if I can figure out where to verify the cert on the...
