Actually, there does not appear to be anything wrong with either of those coins. I realize what you said, but I also realize that what people say...
I would completely disagree with you. It can safely be both. You can be passionate about coins, but also go for ones that have investment...
Great job on that 1835 8 reales coin (even though it is a debased silver contemporary counterfeit). Ok, you got me. I'm buying a vial. =)
That's always good to know, but you wouldn't have much of a choice in the matter regardless. These earlier dates in such condition and with such...
There is plenty you can buy with the expectation that it will appreciate in value. For example, modern coins with particularly low mintage if...
The problem is not unique to US silver either. I see Eastern European sellers ofering full weight and assay silver replicas of rare Russian...
This is a very common occurrence on this and all other forums. If anything, the guy at least admitted to it, which is more than I can say for some...

You can't really go by that. Many of the pictures are of genuine coins, just that they are stock photos and not representative of the coin you...
Japan is one of the countries that I don't see having this problem. I do see it especially concentrated on just a handful of other countries....
Good to know there are some Poe fans on here. =)
Mardi Gras! =) I want one of these (the coin, not the pair hahaha).
Krause sometimes relies on a single source/expert for info on specific coin types. One of the best (and funniest) examples was something posted...
If only eBay had an option to block sellers from certain countries, just as they have the option to block buyers from certain countries. I would...
Just as had happened in Germany, high inflation led to coin hoarding, as the metal of the coins was worth more than their spendable value.
Actually your previous methods are still very much relevant. You still need to have a genuine one in one hand and a fake on the other. Only...
Yes it's very sad indeed! And the saddest part is that good natured people may end up selling a fake honestly believing it to be real. It seems...
Pretty good stuff, nice photography too. :yes:
