Great Article I found today about Numismatic Collectible Coins sold at Coin Mercantile

It is not always easy to explain why coins are worht more than their face value.  I found an article today that helps clear the mud very well.  We have always believed that Numismatic coins are for Investors and Collectors. 


Face Value not True value of Gold USA Coins

2008 5oz Silver Figure Skating Proof Coin
Coins found from around the world are often times worth more because they are hard to come by.  Coin Mercantile has always specialized in doing the research required and importing as many world coins as possible for our customers.  Most of our coins are rare coins with very high purity.  Like this coin Belarus 2008 100 Rubles for the 2010 Olympics in Figure Skating only had 500 minted in the world.  This and many others from around the world grow in value over time because they are near impossible to find, even with the revolution of the internet.
