Well the Bowers and Merena auctions are a bit tough. Each seller must submit $3000 in value. So some offer a handful of coins to meet this...
There is at least one Indian Nation that mints coins. I see some ads here and there about them, but never really looked into it.
You got to love the eye she has for those ultra grades. QueenKoin: Remember, if you ever get tired of not working, call me. :D
PCGS 64 Brown Have a 65 red I picked up last night.
Well my little dime was sold today at a very discounted but good price. Was certainly a good day for buying :D
Here is a hint. When you visit your dealer, be sure to look through the junk silver. We (dealers) all have a coffee can or some other holder...
