Here are additional details that Apmex provided in the listing: Occasionally, we get large lots of Brilliant Uncirculated 90% Silver in original...
I don't normally browse the "roll" category on Ebay but decided to have a closer look after participating on this thread. After what I just saw I...
Significantly Not as Described
Here's a Connecticut copper I just picked up. I started another thread asking for attribution help, the closest I could find online with pictures...
OK, I probably should have said that they are more likely to be original versus definitely original. Nonetheless if I received a roll like the...
I doubt they are really that rare so why wouldn't people sell them on EBay?

There are plenty of modern non-circulating coins from obscure countries that have mintages that may be that low, but perhaps that's because hardly...
On a couple of instances I have come across pinhole-sized carbon spots on MS65 graded coins. On one occasion there were black spots in the center...
Took a gamble on a poor Ebay photo and came out okay... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
