My recollection is that this is something of an overstatement. No doubt a few people hoarded the silver, and just about everyone saved a few...
That would be a pair of 1879CC Morgan silver dollars I received from my grandfather. He brought them home with him after he finished serving in...
I've been keeping my old copper cents. This isn't necessarily because I think that somehow they will be worth a fortune, but more because I can't...
If you have a decent library near you, you can browse through a couple of old price guides and get an idea of where the coins have been priced in...
Coins4me, Boy, does your post ring true.
If it looks right, you've answered your own question. If the coin was a raw coin offered for the same price, would you buy it? If you would,...
I looked at the site and the prices appear reasonable for the things I'm familiar with. I wish they had more photos. I also like the fact that...
