- 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?
- Do you buy whole collections, including the common coins, or only some pieces?
- If a coin is worth grading, can you submit it to PCGS or NGC for me?
