I would like to get the four piece gold bullion set with the eagle head on the reverse, but the $2,000 + price tag for bullion is slowing me down....
I don't have an 1867 anything now. Over the years, I had a cent when I still had my Indian Cent set and a two cent piece, but both are now in...
Here's all I've got. I've tried to get a nice Julius Caesar portrait coin that was struck when he was alive, but the auction gods would let me get...
I would sell the cheaper pieces. I have a some cheap coins, tokens and medals that I really like, but many of the pieces I love to admire are the...
