<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 5146808, member: 25270"]Here's one way you can actually make money if you have the patience to do it. If your dealer is selling all his foreign for a certain price based on silver content, buy the smallest silver coins you can with the most numismatic value. Recently I was at my local coin shop buying older British 3 and 6 pences and some shillings, along with Australian and South African smaller coins. Many of those dates can resell on eBay for well over the silver value. The bigger coins I bought like Canadian silver dollars just don't sell for enough to make up for the fees you pay to resell them. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, let's say I got some early 1900s British threepences for $2 each, and I sold them on eBay for $5-$10. That's a pretty good profit if you get enough of them. But it doesn't pay on the bigger coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
