I wouldn't clean it if I was you.

It's quite expensive for a dime but I guess most of that was postage. Have a look here for spot value of coins but remember that it's priced coins at their full weight and make sure you change the price to pounds. http://www.bullionspotprice.com/silver

Edit: Just realised you might have meant £4 for the gloves too.

Yeah it was £4 for just the coin and postage, gloves were separate. Not great if you look at £/oz but it's got enough detail and some nice character so I don't mind paying an extra £1 to save the hassle of looking too hard - a few decent ones I watched on ebay were going for £6+. I was joking about the cleaning

The gloves I got were Lighthouse, are the unbranded 10 packs from china the same quality or are the branded ones worth the extra? There were some nice watch shop gloves on ebay but they seemed a bit pricey for now

aaah, just received my coin gloves.. let the fondling commence! And this little beauty which only cost me £4 delivered. Might chuck it in some Cillit Bang, what do you reckon?

Gold bears - maybe it's a PM market in-joke

Received my second Morgan today - it's got a die error on it so hopefully worth more than the £20 I paid. Was going to flip it on eBay but now I think I might keep it!

thanks

Yeah I was gonna ask what people do, my idea was to buy cheap bullion by the full tube and basically never touch them, and put the keepers in capsules. It would be nice to put them all in capsules and then in a tube but it takes up twice as much space. Although it would keep them all minty fresh. But the bullion stuff is just £ per oz so I don't mind. But then maybe in 20 years a fresh 2013 Libertad might be sought after. Argh!

My non-tube coins are all in the little plastic bags atm, but I only have about 6 separate coins so it's not such a problem right now. I need to order some capsules really. Anyone know a good place for ordering a few of one kind and a few of another? What size would I need for the canadian 1.5oz wildlife ones?

Yeah but how cool would it be to cast your own bars? I'd love to give it a go if I find enough well-priced scrap sterling

today I received my first Morgan. Thanks to SilverTrader

the 25oz bullet looks great

Just got a Marshall Islands 1994 Moon Landing proof for £13 delivered. Not a troy oz but still, can't complain! Came in a clear case too. Not my photos but the backs of Marshall Island coins are cool

just bought some gloves, a loupe and a digital scale. I want to get touchy-feely, put a nasty mark on a pristine coin with my thumb the other day, trying to rub it off made it worse!
