It is unlikely that you will see any silver or gold circulation coinage due to the reasons others have already expressed above. But this does not...
It is also possible that silver rounds will become more highly thought of collectibles in the future. They are relatively ignored by serious...
Roy - Great summary. I'm beginning to get to the point where I can frequently identify a cleaned coin. It isn't a skill that can be developed...
On the negative side, this appears to be a product of the "if you make it they will buy it" philosophy of the US Mint and their attempt to be a...
There ya go using facts again. ;)
I voted for the westward journey nickel. Am I supposed to be saving these? I've started to put Kennedy halves I don't want in the collection at...
I have to admit I don't weigh coins [but maybe I should]. I believe silver coins have 723.38 ounces of silver per $1,000 face value by design,...
Old Dan - It's also a good time and place to start a casino token collection. :)

I'd pass. I agree with those who believe the toning is artificial. Pick a price you think would be a bargain for an 1878CC EF morgan and buy it...
I might save for the Jamestown. I'm not a big fan of the silver commems except that they make decent gifts.
Learn to love the toning. I don't think there is a way to prevent it. It's like gravity.
Even if it hadn't been wizzed, it doesn't look AU to me. S mint coins are usually struck well and this appears to have a lot of wear above the...
Does pvc mostly attack silver, or are copper coins at risk also?
I've been very happy with Mintproducts.com.
I still check pocket change. I don't think I can stop.
I'll guess number 1. If and when gold takes off in price, this will be the first numismatic category to benefit from the rush to buy gold.
Given the choice between silver and gold, silver will probably outperform in the long run because it is consumed and is actually more rare than...
