I paid between $17-$26/roll for some rolls of 2009 P's & D's dimes a while back. I got some of the 2009 nickels, but forget what I paid (it wasn't...
It's usually a good idea to have replacement rolls handy as a swap. The reason they have the rolls in the first place is to make change...not to sell.
I got a 50 roll brick of 1955s dimes (mintage: 18,510,000). If PMs weren't in the stratisphere, they wouldn't be worth squat. Coins of the...
If they're lightweight, freeze-dried meals...they may be some good vittles to take on a weekend hike. Actually, for freeze-dried meals, the price...
About the only protection you get from a 2x2 is to keep your finger oils off the coin. Take any silver coin in a 2x2 and put it in a drawer with a...
Sounds like something from one of those TV coin shows. :just-sign: Actually, I don't mind paying a little extra to avoid the crazy stuff. APMEX...
Hey Elaine! What's shake'n? You keeping up with the First Spouse series? What do you think about all these early sell-outs? (...and yeah, we...

I was just using the First Spouse series as an example...and I agree with you that $42 for the 3" bronze medals is way too high (I was using the...
My APMEX order says the "estimated" ship date was yesterday (22Apr2011), but the "actual" ship date is blank. When I look at my order status it...

Golden Eagle is my neighborhood coin store...good folks.
Chris, I gotta side with Doug on this one. Take the First Spouse series for instance...each coin has about $150 of markup over bullion. That seems...
I bought some of BadThad's VERDI-CARE a while back and it saved some of my coins. You might want to check it out.
This post got me thinking about "who" is actually buying older silver coins at these prices. I just checked eBay and I see Unc rolls of silver...
Yep...that would still be your Walmart "Big Boy"! :D ...but I agree, increased commodity prices will squeeze profits if those costs can't be...
