European coins are also cleaned even more widely than U.S. coins, which would partially account for the paucity of attractively toned coins. That...
APMEX is undoubtedly getting special treatment, they're one of eBay's largest partners with entire sections of the site sponsored by them.
Found this link to a similar medal, describing it as a satirical early 20th c. medal:...
Hi all, I'm wondering about the typical bid/ask spread for American Gold Eagles and some of the foreign bullion coins. What does your local coin...
You're most likely referring to the one eBay seller who lists nothing but artificially toned Morgan dollars with high starting prices. Once you...
