It depends how you ship it. If I was sending a five pound coin to the UK I'd use a $1.45 international stamp in an envelope. But there's no...
Earlier this year my son and I did some roll searching and we found two of them. I was really surprised. I think they were both in the 30s though.
That's interesting. I haven't noticed this but I don't buy a lot anymore.
I found out recently that eBay includes the sales tax collected when calculating selling fees. So even though I never see that money, I pay a fee...
As he said, it's a state thing. Each state decides whether coins are taxable. I sell coins on eBay and it shows up when the buyer pays tax or not...
I'm in for the Indian gold coin because I don't have anything like that.
I just received this 1852 10 reis from Madeira, a Portuguese island in the Atlantic. I was excited when I found out this exists because I have a...
Yeah they're not rare but people still collect them. I always buy them to resell if they're not too oxidized.
You're right but I never would have figured that out.
This coin is oxidized and with the fancy lettering I just can't make out the name of the state. The date is 1920 and it says "Stadt ---" I have...
It's interesting to think how some things that were made in such large numbers might not have been saved. One of my favorite things to do with...
The only thing worse than envelopes to me is when people put coins in those long, narrow plastic sleeves that they fold up. I've spent way too...
Thanks! I'll have to look into that. It's weird about the letter differences though.
I'm sure someone is going to come right after me and say the exact opposite, but I'm pages all the way. I hate coins in boxes. How do you look at...
Here's a new one for my bear collection that just came today. It's ultra high relief and the bear really sticks up above the surface of the coin....
I was leaning that way too but you never know.
I don't know if it's a coin or just something coin-like but I got it in the world coin bin at the LCS. It's small and either aluminum or tin. It...
That's great. I don't know exactly what I paid but I guess they just estimated the silver value so probably six or seven bucks.
This is among the coins I recently bought at my LCS. This seems to be 1880 Philippines 20 centimos, which shows a mintage of 70,000 and a VF value...
I put my entire collection of well over 10,000 coins in cardboard 2x2s and I'm going on about 15 years with no noticeable problems. In my opinion...
Separate names with a comma.
