Last week I visited a new shop that specializes in world coins. The drawback of this as opposed to where I normally go is they know what stuff is...
This is similar to how I do things now. I'm not into that Marie Kondo stuff about getting rid of all your possessions if they don't bring you joy,...
I agree it is for enjoyment, but I think you need to think once in awhile about if you are still enjoying what you are doing or if you are just...
This shows why coin buying is so different from a lot of other things. You would never go to the grocery store and be told they didn't have any...
This is ridiculous. I have had a similar experience trying to buy foreign silver. Many shops just put it all in a melt bucket and either actually...
This doesn't sound like a fun way to shop for coins at all. You might as well be on eBay. Obviously they don't care too much about customers in...
I believe this. I've sold a lot of my silver this year on eBay. I look up the prices others sold for to get an idea of what to charge. I think...
I ended up visiting a shop on Friday that I had been to once before years ago, but at that time I was at a different stage in my collecting. This...
I'd like to think it's not all of us but some of the people from the big cities and the near suburbs just have a different attitude. You can feel...
I know what you mean. I visited one dealer in the spring and I actually found a lot of neat stuff and got some good deals, but I got the...
When I worked in the city I went there a few times but I no longer do and I just don't feel like going downtown to buy coins. It's too much of a pain.
That does sound nice. My favorite shop has bins of foreign coins for 25 cents each but lately people keep buying them all in bulk so they haven't...
Most of these places seem to do most of their business buying and selling silver but I kind of assumed it was like that for coin shops everywhere.
I did buy from a Joliet shop that had a booth at a coin show once and I wanted to check them out but I'm in the northwest so that's kind of far...
I have a few go-to shops which are great, but once you visit a shop you can't go back right away because they won't have anything. So I have the...
I was working on a Philippines set a few years ago. I have most if not all of the centavos, five centavos, ten centavos and twenty centavos. Some...
Are you sure it's real? The letters don't look like coin letters, and there's a backwards S.
This is different from what other people have shared but these are wacky. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
You didn't ask, but here's mine, and a few extra for fun. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The silver half crown is one I don't have and yours is really nice. I feel like I had an opportunity to buy one at a coin shop recently and I...
