ok putting this reply to both of you here wasnt sure how to reply to each comment lol thank you both for good advice i have said that ebay is a little frustrating i see many beautiful coins from other countries and the shipping is more than the coin lol so yes i am very much open to finding new sites and recommendations i am always open to finding new ways of seeking the treasure! i love being able to sit and peruse the internet looking for shiney pretties and ancient treasure ! to me its as much an adventure as visitng the shop, also its cheaper and easier for me thank you reminding m to read reviews so far all i lokoed at was whether they had 100% on the seller rep thing really i just go on there because i was unsure where else to go for vintage coins the shiny ones i use sharps pixley though again i would appreciate recommendations for other sites as they dont have a large choice and i have a new found passion for ingots and bars and poured silver , all because of reading the many excellent posts of the ssg community i have seen so many beautiful silver things! i want to own them all :) thank you both for these comments i appreciate them much respect
