A New very interesting sight that I was told about yesterday and reminded about this morning by my friend Bob is www.coininfo.com . This site maintains a constantly updated price of Gold and Silver along with a constantly updated dealer value ( real value to you and I ) based upon that actual Gold and Silver price. it also gives the actual melt value for any given Coin both American and World Coins included, at whatever the specific spot price is at that moment. It is an excellent source reference. Put it on your PDA or in your favourite folder for quick access.
At least with these references those who have been raking costumers through the years are going to be forced to compete with costumers who have the real facts at hand. Is not technology wonderful!
