Questions to ask S & W Coins LLC
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.)
- How do you pay for larger amounts — cash, check or wire — and is there a cash limit?
- If a coin is worth grading, can you submit it to PCGS or NGC for me?
