Um, yeah, you just lost any and all premium on that coin and will have trouble selling. Only one who wants that would truly be a smelter, who...
Standards are standards, at either a Troy ounce or 30 grams. In Asia, 30 grams is a more normal weight really than an esoteric weight invented in...
Just holding right now except for coins for kids. They like one ounce silver coins so I buy some every year for them. Not sure if I will ever put...
Are all of your pandas 2015 dated sir? I wonder if they started skimping on metal that year because they were not declaring on the coin it was a...
I think the problem with these metals is the extremely high buy/sell spread if people want to invest in them. Finding them to buy is hard enough,...
I believe I paid too much attention to the second photo and just glanced at the first. I completely agree the Athenian tet looks colored, for...
Looks like horn silver incompletely cleaned to me.
@Gam3rBlake I would be careful with your logic. To say "I paid too much but its worth more now so its ok" is a pretty weak argument. PM is PM. You...
Or Ireland either removes such a punitive tax, or move. My gosh, 23% tax on a purchase made with after tax money......ridiculous. I get mad as...
I like slabs for what they were supposed to be originally, a way of being able to handle a coin easily without fingerprints, a professional...
We all do. No one here knows everything, (well maybe @Barry Murphy ), but the rest of us plebs are here to share what we know and learn what we...

Thankfully, it does not appear the Chinese have attacked our market segment. However, we have CENTURIES of history with fake ancients. Its not...
No doubt there has to be disadvantages. It simply appears from this side of the pond that the EU is going out of its way to try to enforce MAXIMUM...
I have followed Brexit all along. The EU is going out of their way to "punish" the UK for daring to leave. Its all about fear. The EU, if the UK...
Yes. $10 was $10, be it a GC, SC, fed note, an eagle, 10 Morgans, or 1000 cents. Any bank would give you change or exchange any legal tender items...
Yeah, but you forget sir I am a hoarder. A coin with me is a lifetime commitment. I can give away though. Maybe I should donate them to the Boy...
Especially for everything but the cent and half dollar. Those two seem to have the highest demand from set collectors. I have a pile of nickels,...
Eh, that is what you effectively have to do. Sell it as junk silver, and pay the premium AGAIN to get the coin. I simply removed them, (superman,...
I think it would depend on how persnickity you were about your "Type" set definition. I think most emperors have coins with but a few examples...
Separate names with a comma.
