As expected..... lol But honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this happened to someone. Some people are that lucky.
ASE's are in the collector's market, not the bullion market. I've never seen anyone sell an ASE for spot.
Most 5 Marks bid well over silver value, when I bid on mine (an AU 1908 5 Mark) it bid up to $45 and that was almost 2 years ago. I made sure it...
I tend to like world coins often more than our own. Especially silver crowns from multiple countries which in my opinion have superior designs....
When I find the time, I do go through all my lots I purchase. Since these purchases have been spread out through a period of a few years, I am...
Yes, I am aware of the partially silver versions of 5 and 10 Schillings (I used to own a few...). These sell for premiums on ebay so it's pretty...
Compared to me, your collecting habits are quite normal I'd say. Lately I've been flat out hoarding (x10!). I think I've reached the 250,000 -...
If any seller uses Priority Mail - 5-10 pounds is cheap. I would be charged $12 or $13 s/h if a medium box is used. Of course this is assuming...
This really has nothing to do with the company split between ebay and paypal. When I began selling my first handful of items on ebay back in 2012,...
Oh my gawd wow!! The surface looks like that of a stainless steel L.100 Lire coin from Italy! :p I would have told that dealer the same thing!
There aren't many. I would assume there easily a lot more people who own their own coin businesses than people who work for others in numismatics....

9 watchers??? And what guarantee do we have that the seller didn't do all this to the coin? lol
A lot of buyers use "pay after delivery" - I myself have used it and it seemed like the sellers immediately got the funds when purchasing. The...
It's standard with accounts that either have very little or no selling history with paypal and ebay, and a way to make sure there is no...
Pending, up to 21 days? I've only had this occur when I sold my first 5 items in an unverified paypal account. Honestly, after that point, all of...
That's interesting. Were the weights accurate? (if you weighed them?) I'll try to weigh my coins individually and see if it matches.
They are just standard £2 Pound coins, with mixed dates. No commemoratives/special issues. They are currency coins pretty much. On ebay they don't...
I received the coins yesterday. 2 or 3 of them look like good examples, but the other 37 I have in the lot are really faded, and a few have odd...
American Silver Eagles fell into the collector's market. So people pay premiums for these pieces and this is one of the reasons you'll find graded...
