Personally I don't have anything AGAINST a coin recovered from a wreck, but I refuse to pay extra simply for that fact. That is the problem with...
If it costs the counterfeiters ten cents to make a coin, its still 150% profit, right? This is a cheap counterfeit, so the profit margin is higher...
Inflexion, does the company I described have an intrinsic value? If you owned the whole company, would it intrinsically be worth anything? That is...
Without pictures its unanswerably sadly. Condition is critical for coins. We don't know if these are real, what grade, if they have damage, etc...
You are assuming a lot. What makes you think the firms he is talking about is purely denominated in one currency? What makes you think they are...
Collect coins not in slabs?

That coin ad that introduced you to this hobby was an expensive piece of advertising. Something unaffordable to dealers who sell closer to the...
Its great points Doug bring up. Actually, if someone spent a little time learning more, you could even print up certificates naming the mint on...
