About those coins coming up at better prices... Mozambique 1 centimo came up for 19.95, and the seller has several with a 24.95 BIN price on it. Looks like that's a good price for this coin, way below catalog. Maybe in time the other ones issued in 1975 will show up at good prices. Cheers, Colleen

With regards to British seventeenth-eighteenth century silver; I like 'em, too, Sylvester. I have a question for you that I have posted here in the past with no satisfactory answer to date. It has to do with the silver sixpences, shillings, and halfcrowns of the late 1600s and early 1700s. ...

RANT CONTINUED: Why do people on ebay expect sellers to not make some money off their items and/or shipping. THIS IS WHY !!! Take for example this one sale: 12 transit tokens sold for a whopping big $1.54 I charged only $2 shipping plus insurance $1.30. TOTAL SALE: $4.84

I have always been fasinated by error coins. In my collection I have a nickel which was struck on a cent planchet and also a quarter struck on a cent planchet, both certified by PCGS. Today getting a couple of cheesburgers without the buns at MacDonalds I received 3 quarters in change. One fell...

Anybody know what happened to the Toronto forger, commonly referred to as the "Toronto Group" (though there's no indication that more than one person is/was behind this ancient coin forgery scam)? This scammer seems to be inactively lately, after nearly three years, and about 40 rounds, of scam...

Not mine. I just got a kick out of the story and figured I'd add a potential #12, "lost in the mail" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1469&item=5551637236&rd=1 or http://tinyurl.com/6zprd M

Just curious,,, at what dollar value do most people add shipping insurance when it is optional (buying through E-Bay)? I rarely bother when buying items $10 - $15 or less but at $20 I start to consider it. At $30 and up I would probably always get insurance. I've had good luck with all my e-bay...

Actually, this coin with it's smooth original color and non-porous surafces is a condition rarity in this grade. VF20's now sell for over $30,000, and low grade coins like this are generally heavily corroded. Only about 200 exist in all grades, and no uncs are known. I hoped that this coin, EAC...

Hello, I have a small question. I have a State Quarters collection, and my coins are gradually turning brown. The details of the Quarters are as follows: 1) Quarters were gathered from typical pocket change, not proofs 2) Stored in white mylar coin flaps inserted in vinyl pages, in an...

Hi all, question for the silver collectors. When do the Mexican 2005 Silver Libertad come out. The reason I need to know is that my daughter is finally graduating from college. She'll finally be paid off. Only took 22 years to pay for that 10 mins of fun. Anyway, I am trying to get her as many...

just got a flyer in the mail today. US mint selling 1oz Gold American Eagles direct to the public! Did a policy change somewhere? I thought the Mint only sold 1oz GAEs to high-volume dealers? (yes, i'm going to buy two despite the price increase!)

Howdy, friends! I've been doing eBay for several years now. After a 25-year spell of doing absolutely nothing in the way of collecting, I decided to put together a set of Barber Quarters in G-VG. I bought a number of them on eBay and in a year or so, I had gathered up all but the "big three" in...

I have to vent... For the second time in a month, I am bidding on a coin at Teletrade where the reserve is within a couple of dollars of full retail for the coin (figuring in the commission and postage.) I have bid one increment under the (hidden) reserve. I would have to bid one increment over...

I was just down at the post office. One tip I was given years ago is to cash the postal money orders fist, then ship the item. Well, this tip finally paid off today. I had a web purchase that totalled $720. The clerk informed me that this MO was on their hot list, in other words it was one that...
