wow - that's a tall order - most of my stack is pre-1965 circulated US 90% silver coinage (I don't care for the j.s. description) and tubes of ASEs, Canadian Maple Leafs and some other foreign bullion coins - I've also got 55 unremarkable silver dollars and a few semi-collectible silver coins from around the globe - posting all of them would wear me out and bore most of you bleary-eyed
Wow ALL of my silver coins. That is a tall order. Here are a few of my favorite world silver. View attachment 731246
In a way, that is a good question. I bought that coin on ebay from a seller I assumed was reputable and honest. The other bidders had fairly high numbers of feedbacks, indicating that they were not total rookies. I paid less than $50 for it. I have a certain amount of knowledge and expertise about coins, and it looks real to me. How do you know your wheat pennies (or whatever you collect) are real?
Well, if you like it, just go for it. No regrets! I bought a coin a few months ago which I maybe should have looked at a bit more carefully. I have a good relationship with the seller and he would have refunded my money, no problem, however I liked it and elected to keep it. I think this is what is called a "contemporary counterfeit", meaning it was made way back then and passed as genuine, thus the honest wear. I have posted it before. What do you think? Is this a neat piece or what? It "rings" like silver and the portrait of Edward VII is like nothing I have ever seen.
There aren't enough hours in the day for me to post ALL of my silver coins, so I'll post my favorite. Well, one of my top favorites, anyway...
