GEORGE III BRITISH SILVER COINS !!??

[MUD(S.W.A.T)]

Hello all,

I would like to learn and invest in some foreign silver. I was looking one E-bay at Six pence coins and Halfcrowns. I was just wondering the size of these coins is the Halfcrown as big as a halfdollar? Is the Six Pence as big as a dime? Thats my guess, I'm I right? Also how much should these sell for I don't want to pay to much.

Keep @ it and HH!!

question -
what is the comfort level on buying coins on eBay?
0 - 100 ?
Personally it doesn't make me comfortable but maybe you can change my attitude
I would rather pay a little extra to have the item in my hand to critique than relying on a photo
Your thoughts?
I don't mean to hijack this post, it was just a thought
