To be fair eBay takes 12-14% on most categories. I agree you need go find a better refiner though. Even if you’re happy with 50-60, I think you’d...
Love that! Looks that old to me.
I never knew the D was for dollar!! That’s so interesting. I knew it indicated a likely NY origin but not the dollar part. Very cool.
