Questions to ask Ancient Gold Coins
We couldn't confirm these from public sources, so ask before you go:
- What would you pay today for a 1 oz American Silver Eagle, and for $1 face value of pre-1965 silver? (Ask two shops the same question to compare.)
- If a coin is worth grading, can you submit it to PCGS or NGC for me?
