Question
Hello!  I purchased a coin 17yrs ago for the birth of my daughter, it had a stork on one side and on the other I was able to personalize it with her first name and her birthdate.  It also says 'Liberty Mint' on it, it's .999 fine silver, one troy ounce.  I would like to purchase two more for my other children.  Do you know a web site for that?  Thanks!  :)

Answer
Naomi,

I don't know where you can get a stork one, but you can buy other silver ingots or rounds at the Silvertowne website :

You would probably need to go to a jeweler or something to get it engraved.

I hope this helps,

Dan

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
