If you think it is a good idea, then do it. If you think quality doesn't matter, then go ahead and collect based on that criteria. Just don't...
I used to search rolls with some success, but around here the silver seems to have dried up several years ago.
Everything is collectible, but silverware has a lot of pitfalls in purity and exactly what part of the piece is actual silver and what part is...
The 1996 already carried a high numismatic premium, and the coin market in general has suffered during the recession.
Nor will there ever be such a list. Prices, spreads and terms change daily. This forum is just one way that the information is shared. The...
That is how it should be done. Don't they do this in Canada?
In my opinion, ASEs will always sell at a premium because the weight and purity are guaranteed by the government. If you purchase a silver round...

How do you design a program to determine dealer integrity or condition of the coin?
Cheap is one factor. But so are dealer integrity, shipping, condition, sales tax, return policy, quantity discounts, plus the fact that there can...
If you asked your accountant for 5 years in a row and haven't received an answer, you need a new accountant. Taxes are, of course, just part of...
My understanding is that the capital gains tax doesn't apply to coins. They are taxed at the 28% rate established for collectibles. But I'm not...
