That's interesting. I'm sure they're not melting anything that's super, super rare, but the fact is that you don't know because I get the...
Side note: I stopped at Wendy's when I got to town and got a Mercury dime in my change. I'd love to see if there was anything else in that change...
The great buys is why I visit the shops instead of eBay. I always dream of going into a coin shop in some small town and finding a 25 cent bin...
I was in South Bend, Indiana for a wedding, and I had some time so I decided to Google coin shops in the area. I was shocked to see there are at...
I have considered it but I won't make money that way. My thing is cherrypicking foreign coins from junk bins and selling them for just enough to...
I have three accounts. Two of them occasionally get free listings promos, while the third one never does. But they used to come two times a month...
I understand separating the companies because it's two different businesses. But eBay didn't need to, many years later, decide to switch to a new...
I don't understand why they're moving away from Paypal. They used to be the same company and you were required to accept Paypal if you were a...

I like the French territory coins a lot, and many of them are more collectible than actual French coins. Coins like these are really interesting...
Thanks, I think you're right. I did know about that site but didn't check there.
Indian states? Tibet? Not a coin at all? I don't know what to make of this one. Sorry it's not the best pic, but I was in a hurry. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The larger bag above and the coins pictured there are ones that I already have in my collection, so I plan to resell these. The smaller bag are...
My favorite coin collecting activity by far is to search through "junk bins" at a coin shop or show, but especially a shop. Just the fact that you...
