I buy probably 30-40 coins a month on eBay, at the moment mostly foreign, and I also sell a few doubles, maybe 5-10 per month if I'm lucky. In the...
I have to say I can't complain about the service. Even though I am the only one buying coins and I don't spend thousands of dollars like the...
Another thing: With the high price of silver I've been focusing on world coins lately since it's something I can do rather cheaply. Mostly that...
More specifically, what we now know as Poland was split between Russia, Germany and Austria at the time. My own ancestors came from the Austrian...
Yes, in this case every customer in there was selling gold. That seemed a little unusual but I guess because the price has been going up so much...
Another interesting thing about the modern Greek coins is that they didn't mint them every year, and they didn't stick with any designs long. So...
I can see it getting some people interested, and then they might branch out into other coins, but it also means millions of beautiful foreign...
I went to the local coin shop today to pick up some 2x2s, and all five clerks were working with people selling gold. As I was waiting to be...

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling it was Russian and it looked an awful lot like a 1916 Russian coin someone else posted recently. It seems...
I'm hoping someone can tell me something about this coin. The seller said it was Polish, but I don't think Poland was even an independent nation...
It depends what you are selling. Anything silver will sell, but common coins might not if there isn't a high demand or if a lot of other people...
A lot of people won't bid on auctions with bad photos or when the seller has little feedback. Since I buy low value stuff I don't let that stop me...
I just looked up the price and not at the picture. It doesn't help to have references when you don't use them right. I'll know for the future. I...
I emailed them and they said to send it back for a refund. I knew I was taking a risk on this but I thought it was acceptable given the potential...
