It seems like everyone and his brother is selling silver on eBay right now. I would never buy bulk silver on eBay because when I factor in the...
I think shopping for coins is an experience where you need to be comfortable with the dealer. Just from what you said, I don't get a good vibe...
So the date really has little bearing on when they were printed? Why would they start a new series and still be printing the old series?
Last night I got $60 from the ATM, and what came out was three 20s, all sequential numbers from 2006 and looking uncirculated to my non-expert...
Why couldn't they make both silver dollars and other coins that year? What made that year special?
I'm at work right now so I can't check this, but it seems to me that there are no U.S. coins from 1922. Why not?
I am definitely more likely to bid on something with free shipping, and I almost never bid on a coin where shipping charge is more than $3. I was...

Maybe my expectations for others are too high because I was a history major, but this kind of thing makes me both laugh and shake my head. Here is...
I think it depends on what kind of collector you are. Me, I'm mostly interested in getting all the dates, not on them being in mint condition. So...
It's only happened to me a few times and both times it was on coins that only cost a few bucks, but I told the seller I hadn't received them, they...
