Honestly, and I know its hard being captain obvious, but you should never send a check in such situations. You contacted the man around Ebay, so...
The dating system is the Buddhist calendar. My mother in law was born on 2500, (1957), so always easy for me to do the conversion. :)
Wouldn't the law of large numbers suggest the dealer would profit as much as lose over the long run with market variances. Or do dealers just want...
Personally, I think the seller in the article is a complete crook and hope all friends here in OK who read the story remember his fat, lying face....
OP, of course if you held pricing, quality, and basically everything else equal, then customer service would be the competing variable. In your...
I would agree with others. The buyback price of 40% and silver war nickels has always been much further from melt than 90%. It just costs too much...

I have told the story before how I got in to ancient coins, but it was out of boredom with US coins. I mean, I never "got" why I should care there...
I agree. Non-accountants like to think such a thing as a "cost" is fixed and knowable. "Cost" is a fuzzy term, and I have seem many companies go...
