No, I was a customer selling to the local coin shop.
I'm not sure what silver's at now but when it was a little under $27 I sold a bunch for 18.125 times face. I know silver has been higher since then.
I am testing a theory this year that there will be fewer buyers on eBay auctions that end on or close to Christmas because people are distracted...
I wish I could because there's a lot of coins that I need, but my family just wouldn't know where to begin to buy it for me, so I asked for...
I agree about the repetitive listings. Most of the coins I look at on eBay are sold by people who do hundreds of these and most have a template...
I've bought from him before because he has reasonable shipping charges as someone else said, but you definitely can't listen to anything he says....
I've complained about this kind of thing before, but come on. Look at the title of this auction, then look at the coin....
My foreign coins are mostly in 2x2s and then in plastic pages in albums, which are on a shelf in my closet. Most of my U.S. coins I have in...
1816 to 56 is exactly the period I'm going after. I'm not looking for varieties, just one coin from each year. I have some standards - I don't bid...
I've been doing the same thing as you - trying to compile a large cent collection for little money. I bid a max of about $11 and if I don't win I...
That's up to you but it seems like the sign of someone who treats collecting as a business. There's nothing wrong with that but for me collecting...

Thank you for this. If nothing else I can use this as a starting point to compare to the photos of these coins and see if mine match. The photos I...
I wouldn't ask anyone to spend time researching it but if you know what it is by looking at it, please share. I was looking at some of the images...
I agree and I do plan to get some older ones, but right now I'm looking for the most bang for the buck, and in my target area very few are worth...
Thanks for the info. I love big coins so I think the British and Canadian large cents are cool, plus I love the Lady Brittania or whatever the...
These are some of the better examples of the Romans I have. From what I've been able to read so far, it sounds like the others I have are just...
Thanks for the guide. I know that usually people don't recommend cleaning coins but Romans are the exception. I have some that look pretty good...
I have been trying to assemble a collection of the large British pennies (circa 1900 to 1967). I was trying to figure out what I still needed so I...
When I was young and ignorant I purchased a bunch of uncleaned Roman coins, not knowing what to expect. When I received them I didn't really know...
