Re: What happens to varieties that have been "removed" (ATS) 1849/8 H10C.

Re: A valuable coin is missing.
There is a rule in law that states if someone states an untruth or a false claim you may then- at your discretion- deem all of their statements or claims as false.

Re: Why was there such a controversy about the Standing Liberty quarter design?
What is possible is to refute each of the alleged facts in some version of the “obscene” quarter story.
