    When I saw the thread title I though OP was refering to going to some ones house or shop to swap coins. not an online server
    Exactly this, thought it was like-minded numismatists getting together to compare thruppenny bits and see if anyone's got that mythical penny that's worth £££s.
    Comparing thruppenny bits is a different website altogether.
    You'd think that being from Stepney I might have used different coinage to avoid the rhyming slang. Been away too long, obviously.

  • Did you check the number from which you got the call? It may have been reported as spam already. 
    I also had a look at the learnspread website, if it is the one you mean, and it looks like they sell some basic informational videos about forex... overpriced IMO... but not investing. the have a phone number which works which is unusual for forex scam.
    In any case, trust your gut on this.

    What commision fees are they charging to buy and sell coins by any chance?
    There won't be any commission. They'll just pocket the entire amount
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
