    Welcome to give-a-buck.com, the island of numismatic sanity in a growing sea of internet BS. Numismatic collecting is a great hobby and is still one of the most popular of hobbies in North America. Since many people owe their livelihoods to it, there are inherent biases when dealing with certain members who may be more interested in their bottom lines than in providing help and information to fellow collectors. The internet was supposed to give the average collector the power to take back the hobby, but there is both reluctance from the consumer and resistance to change from traditional areas. Internet-based auctions should have brought collectors with similar interests together, but this has not been the case. The collecting community is still very fractured and timid.
    This website is my contribution to both the growing internet landscape and my favorite hobby. Within these pages, you will find many categories of collecting material with pictures and grades for almost everything listed. While I don't consider this accomplishment unique, there is a surprising lack of openness by other dealers and internet auction sellers. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it often tells more about the person who made it than about the item it portrays. Likewise, grading standards have become more of a personal statement and are no longer acceptible at face value. By providing both pictures and grades, I am giving you the tools you need to assess my overall fairness. Still, there is no substitute for good service, and whether you are placing an order or asking a question, you will receive an answer quickly and honestly.
    This website is hosted on a secure, reliable server from Black Sun, meaning you can access pages herein 24/7 with almost no downtime. Because this site is privately-owned, there are no pop-ups and no annoying advertisements, and your security will not be comprimised by tracking cookies, spyware, or malicious scripts. The main menu appears above and is your starting point to find all I have to offer. Don't forget to bookmark this page since I'm sure you will not see everything in one visit.

This site no longer features a links section. Why should it? Every numismatic website either denies the existance of every other numismatic website in the world or wants to be paid for advertising. Now, while I could be accused of being an opportunist, I'm not so vindictive against other numismatic affiliations as to demand compensation for linking to outside sites. I just think it's pretty fucked up that sites like eBay will reprimand and suspend me for posting links to my website while, at the same time, they encourage me to point other people toward my auctions on THEIR sites. Until they reform their stunningly audacious narcissism, I'm not going to be sharing any information about other websites. And if you ask me why I'm still posting links to my ebid.net auctions above, it's because that particular site offers me the option of listing stuff for free.
