For me, one of the interesting aspects of collecting gold coins with different purity levels is the differences in color between the coins. Other...
Just to let you know, the face value on Canadian bullion coins is meaningless. They are not legal tender in Canada. I checked this out with...
Ouch!
I think it's a very high probability bet that gold will go above $1000, and 5 years is a reasonable timeframe. Gold and silver are two of the few...
I figure that the cost of gas is mostly a wash against the cost of postage from buying from an internet dealer.
I'm getting 'sticker shock' when I look at the prices of many coins today. I don't know if it's my imagination or what, but coin prices right now...
My coin budget is smaller, but not just because of the price of gas. It a combination of price increases in everything, including the coins...

Based on what you said, I presume you have no numismatic interest in the coins you buy, and only want to profit from the silver. I am not an...
The last thing the US Treasury and Federal Reserve want is silver money that competes directly with their paper. They probably wouldn't put a...
A lot can happen over twenty years, and I wouldn't want to bet that PCGS will still be on top.
I use airtites for coins where condition is important, and 2x2's for circulated or low-value uncirculated coins.
One of the dealers near me dips virtually all silver coins that pass through his shop. He's good at it [apparently] and treats it as a normal...
I had a pretty bad looking morgan dollar a couple of years ago with a lot of miscellaneous "stuff" on it and it cleaned up fairly well by soaking...
