I never would have even thought that such new coins would be counterfeited, so I'm glad you brought this to my attention. I recently purchased my...
You're definitely more likely to find silver deals in foreign coins because most people don't know what they're dealing with. Most silver buyers...

Can someone give me an idea of the prices for a silver 1 escalin 1767 from Austria Hungary? It's something I'm a potential customer for so I don't...
Your Spanish coin has a hole in it, so that eliminates any real collector value it would have. The British penny looks like it might be cleaned or...
that's always been my experience too. The reject bin is right there and obvious and at the eye level of little kids. Today I was searching the TCF...
