I'd say the second is a button.
It's a good way to get started with a foreign collection. I wouldn't do it now, but when I first started I bought several bulk lots. It gives you...
The shop where I buy mine pays people like a quarter for a handful, assuming they're not silver. The problem is most people are going to think...
My limit is about $15 or so. Recently I sold some silver halves and dollar coins. I shipped the halves in regular envelopes and the dollars in...
Obviously I don't know where gold and silver are going to go, so it's just a feeling, but I started collecting seriously right when precious...
