Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".

Yes, it's silver. Try this dealer. There are more dealers out there. When you are starting out, buy from reliable, established dealers to avoid disappointments.

@capn: just put a reference to this thread on the ticket.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
