Maybe I would for silver dollars! Report this Post to the Staff

I can't see an acrylic display of common coins being a showpiece worthy of display, but who knows? Report this Post to the Staff

I asked the owner of the local LCS about these gold and silver Canadian coins from the 1970's and 1980's. He said that no one wants them (collectors or stackers) and they go to the refiner.
