The Half Dime replied to the thread Littleton SCAM alert!.
That's one of the only positives I have with Littleton, but I will give them credit for that. I have a 2024-D innovation dollar graded...

The Half Dime replied to the thread 1918 British Penny: PMD or Mint Error?.

The Half Dime replied to the thread 1974S Penny with beautiful color.

The Half Dime replied to the thread GTG: 1878 8TF Morgan, VAM 14.4.
