Yes, it looks and feels like silver. I believe it is an authentic outlier that is much heavier than average. I got this for $19, so it was a...
Absolutely. Here are some pics, showing good detail in parts and wear in others. I'd appreciate any information about this coin beyond what I...
eBay is a good place to sell coins because at times buyers will overpay, somewhat offsetting the fees. Plus you get to enjoy the heavy traffic....
Silver is now over $20 per ounce. So it appears to have strong support at this level, considering some here were predicting it would go to $10 or...
This appears to be the 1911-1915 version of the 3 mace 6 candareens coin, though there were also restrikes and over time the silver was diluted on...
