They are beautiful coins, although I don't own any. Check out golddealer.com and mintproducts.com to compare with your other sources. My...
Since the seller was a dealer, I don't think you had any moral obligation to share profits. Basically you are both "professionals" and you just...
I consider any design still being struck to be "modern." It's sort of like the difference between a cemetary and graveyard.
I have several casino tokens [not silver] from a trip to Vegas in the early 80s. I never considered them to be collectibles, just souveniers.
Ben, Great coin. I'm not good at distinguishing the small differences between the uncirculated grades, and my opinion is that people overpay...
Maybe lucite is just a more secure form of slab.

I still haven't quite figured out why the coins slabbed as a set should be worth more than the coins slabbed individually at the same grade. In...
I think it makes sense to collect them whether or not you call them coins or tokens. I have some hard times tokens, civil war tokens, canadian...
Major red flag here! Stop buying. Experience is a great teacher, but the tuition is extremely high. If you want a coin as an investment, buy a...
You can probably accomplish your goal with some of the modern gold coins. Look at American Gold Eagles. Look at the Canadian gold maple leafs....
This is an interesting observation [to me at least]. It seems likely that nobody, or almost nobody, has ever seen a platinum coin in fine or very...
Ruben, Actually, I prefer silver. Silver halves, silver dollars, silver eagles, even silver rounds. I have this 10 coin Bill of Rights silver...
