Had my wife look, and they are CWS (made in Canada). I can't seem to find a pic online. Btw, nice group Collect89. I bet you that you acquired...
I never thought differently sir. I was the one saying incorrect things here. :)
ETF's have nothing to do with it. You are talking about leverage both on the buy and sell side of the COMEX. I would predict much less liquid...
What was it, like 77 or 78 they started putting them on all Philly issues besides cents? The rest of you can excuse my ignorance of modern US...
Not a "devil's investment", but you are right. Its in a 12 year bull. Do things go up forever? Actually, yes, with inflation they will....
I would guess the higher priced seller was listing it with hopes of buying it from the cheaper seller for less if "his" sold. Since someone has...
History of PM "predictions" 1975 "Gold will explode!" 1976 "Gold will explode!" 1977 "Gold will explode!" 1978 "Gold will explode!" 1979...

It says right on the token they are Philadelphia coins. Why do you think a mintmark should be there? Mint sets were not made for SF mint, only...
I will check the brand name tonight. Sorry I cannot do it right now. I see similar one online but online I saw are vertical strips, and these were...
I agree with both Mat and Doug of course. The Constans as a type is about as common as there is in LRB's. It must be some rare little field mark...
No one says its harder, just a different field of expertise. You say, "worked over or improved pieces are mostly easy to identify", easy for whom?...
So I got a group of coins from a large auction firm, and they mailed it to me in a page. When I started looking at it its really cool. At first...
It goes wrong because its not a good source of silver. Refiners hate these because its much harder to refine than 90%, and there is a lot less...
OP, I would suggest maybe CICF in Chicago. They have antiquities and ancient jewelry that your wife may at least find interesting if not wishing...
