Hi All,
I have been buying for some time now older silver world coins off e-bay from one particular seller. I know he is legit and so is his coins but I wanted to check out other auctions to have a few other go to sellers if this one doesn't have what I am looking for.
So can any of my CCF family give me some leads of e-bay sellers who I can trust and not worry about counterfeit coins.
Examples of what I am collecting is Old silver Russian Kopek coins, Old Silver Chinese coins, Japanese Old Silver Coins etc etc.
Thanks
ST

Aspen coins was the name I was thinking of when I read this too. I had two links for them in my ebay saved sellers but only the aspencoins2 seems to be active at the moment anyway. I have had good purchasing experiences with the aspencoins2 seller currently on ebay. Nice coins and better prices and no issues to report on my end. |

Our own Jdmern always seems to have a large inventory of world coins. I believe he was recently honored by ebay as one of its premier and prestigious sellers as well!! |

My experience with aspencoins has been negative. I reported to them, on more than one occasion, about counterfeit 8 reales they had for auction. One time the response back questioned my knowledge of what I reported. Later, I noticed that I was blocked from bidding on their auctions.

I like the die break on that 15 kopek!
Fyi however, it's CuNi, not silver. Always gotta be careful.
Have you tried the collections & lots section? I used to lurk there, and you can sometimes get some super deals.

Silver Tracker, I'm not knocking the seller you've been dealing with. But he is a very established seller with a lot of followers. There's no doubt he tends to get a premium price for his coins. I would recommend that you be a bit more adventuresome, and look for better deals. Fakes are a problem, but unless you're buying more expensive coins, I would be more price-conscious. This has worked well for me in buying world coins. Some coins are heavily counterfeited, though, and you should use this site and other resources to educate yourself.
