Coin World and Greysheet will give you a very good idea of the going price. If you look at Redbooks for several years [say, 2007, 05, 03 and 01],...
Although I think I know what Mr. Mishler means, I have mixed feelings about it. When a respected representative of the numismatic community tells...
As the others have said, the coins are definitely worth keeping. Who knows? It might be the start of a highly valuable collection -- yours.
Carl, I agree with much of what you say. Like everything else in the 21st century, collecting is becomming too complex. Personally, I think...
Since his goal seems to be to make money and not complete a set, I would suggest buying as many American Silver Eagles that he can get for $200....
I think most of the modern commemoratives [$0.50 and $1.00 coins] are very high priced compared to their numismatic value. Some of the gold...

The price of silver may be high, but it's not as high as it looks.
I would probably have bought them too for that price.
Don't clean any of the coins under any circumstances. As others suggested, buy a Redbook. Get to know which dates contain potentially valuable...
If you don't really really really [did I mention really] need the cash for something important right now, you might want to hang onto this for a...
In my opinion, you were completely out of line reporting this to Ebay and really had no ethical authority to do so. That would be up to the buyer...
I've always thought of commemoratives as bullion coins sold with a marketing gimmick.
This is a guess. You might get $150 for the coins you sell if they have great eye-appeal, but I suspect you might come up a bit short and have to...
I think you received a reasonable price that might be a little low but not too low. One dealer around me is currently paying $9 for ASEs. An...
