I'm on the same page as LordM. I like US coins and occasionally pick some up, but the better ones are just too pricey and there are way too many...
If a dealer feels the need to proclaim themselves as being fair/honest/reputable, I find this to be a red flag towards the opposite. Reputation...
Can't score any points if you don't shoot your shot :) Best of luck
Personally, for a common date/variety I would expect to pay around 50% for one with issues that strongly impact eye appeal.
None of them ever ship individual epackets, they use the bulk option. By that chart the bulk option costs them around 35 cents per epacket if they...
People use the word "novodel" deceptively to describe fakes. A novodel is an official government production. Pieces like the one posted here are not.

The market for world coins doesn't seem much weaker to me from 10 years ago. The common stuff is cheaper now, but mostly because the internet made...
Yup, that is just typical toning for these coins. The climate where they were used plus metal composition often results in toning that is uniquely...
Appears very much genuine based on photos alone. Very nice condition and old patina as well. Great find! :)
Evasions are not the same as counterfeits. An evasion has clearly different design elements from originals and are called such because the maker...
Yes, that is the loophole. Apparently the keyword filter only cares about "Cuba" in the coins and paper money category. Someone with a direct...
Separate names with a comma.
