Sterling trades at a substantial discount to spot.
I gave up on halves a year or two ago. Five or six years ago, it was still worthwhile, but after the big silver spike they got pretty thoroughly...
Let me know if you'd like to double your money on it. :)
I'm not sure what you have in mind here. A gold coin the same diameter and thickness as a half dollar would weigh something like 0.8 ounces....
You're looking at asking prices, not the prices at which items actually sold. Click on the "Sold listings" box on the left-hand side of the page,...
Oh, wow. That was a really nice coin -- before someone decided to scrub it. :( Those "scratches" signify what collectors call "harsh cleaning"....
1. It removes deposits like grease, glue, and ink. It can also remove PVC deposits, as Owle just mentioned; it will help prevent further corrosion...
To be honest, I just use Google. If you search on east texas coin show 2014, are any of the results within your driving range?
If you can get an 09S VDB MS65+RD for $1-2K, it's a great investment, because everybody else is paying $5-10K for it. If you can get a 16D MS64FB...

I'd like to see a larger/closer shot of the date. That feature on the left of the second 1 in the date makes me nervous -- it reminds me of a...
Lower VF (20-25). I know nothing about grading large cents, and I remember wondering how someone could grade a coin if they didn't have experience...
Keep in mind that sellers cannot leave negative or neutral feedback, and if they leave positive feedback with a negative or critical message, you...
Looks like he's pulled that relisting. I don't understand how the seller got to keep any of your money. If you opened a SNAD, especially if you...
For what it's worth, eBay makes it kind of hard not to open a case. As I recall, if you click on "Contact Seller" for an auction you won, the...

How on Earth could a 1965 quarter have been struck on a 40% planchet, when 40% quarters were only minted in 1976? Was there an experiment to mint...
