Welcome to Pullen & Co's eBay Shop. The best source for PCGS/NGC Graded MS/PR 70s' Silver Bullion Coins & finally a place for U.K. residents to buy at a reasonable price and low/no shipping charges! The Shop for the smart precious metals investors!
I can only speak for the 1885 P Morgan Dollar that I dealt with. It was given a grade of MS66 by NTC but was really around MS63. It was a beautiful coin and the amount of time spent in isolation gave it a color spectrum I have never seen. It taught me a lesson as well. Good Beautiful Coin.

Always Jonesin' for Jeffersons - 1968-S the only one not in circulation!
I started collecting coins with Nickels. Jeffersons to be exact. Once I had bought the first penny album, I was hooked. I wanted to fill every book with every denomination.
Surprisingly, I was able to find many of the key dates in my own junk coins, Included 1 1938, 1928D, 1939S, and 1950D. After a few months of collecting and analyzing every coin I saw, The 1968-S was the only coin that I was missing.
I bought it to complete my set.
I like all Jefferson Nickels as the get their value from rarity and other numismatic variables, and are not based on having any precious metal content.
The one thing about the 68-S was the lack of a cameo, which I was expecting.
Regardless, it is still a gorgeous coin and will be worth a lot of money in the future. I suggest you get yours today!

Britannia Coins: More Valuable than the American Counterpart. Here's why.
As a collector of American Coinage, I did not know very much about coins from my home country, Great Britain - for I had lived my 75% of my life here in the U.S.A.
I recently read an article in Coin World Magazine. It featured the Royal Mint and some of it's new security features along with the best looking coins I have ever seen.
I have a gold sovereign and a trade dollar from 1911 but no "Britannia" coins. I didn't realize it but they only make very small amounts, leaving the PCGS/NGC Populations MS or PF 70 below 50, sometimes below 20. I was able to get this coin for $15.oo raw, that is about double the current silver melt value.
I have pushed for the PF70's but they are hard to get. IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A BRITANNIA COIN OF ANY SIZE LISTEN TO THIS: GO FOR THE GOLD, THE MS OR PF 70, 69 MAKES UP 99% OF THE POPULATION. SECONDLY, GO WITH NGC OR PCGS IF YOU LIKE THEM. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE IF YOU WANT TO SELL THIS COIN ONE DAY. THIRD, ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THAT BRITANNIA YEAR YOU LIKE WHETHER IT BE 1 OZ, 1/2 OZ, 1/4, 1/10 OZ, 1/20 OZ, 1/40 OZ, GOLD OR SILVER.
These coins are the best looking proofs, so good that I have traded out my 10 ASE's for British Equivalent. The differences between the two different 1 oz coins is the Britannia is smaller in size but thicker while the ASE is larger in size. They weigh the same, so if you are putting money into silver, why put it on a coin everyone has when you can get a Britannia for the same amount of silver and the same cost?
Check out the Britannia Coins from over the years...
Tell me if I am wrong.
