Also, it's Napoleon III, who was actually Napoleon's nephew.
It's either 5 or 10 centimes. I'm guessing 10. The 5 is about the size of a British half penny. The 10 is about the size of a U.S. half dollar....
The sun, if that's what it is, reminds me of Argentina coins. Could it be a token from there?
It has happened to me several times. I don't usually remember my dreams very well, but I collect world coins and like to search junk bins, and...
Since we're all showing our 5 kopeks, here's mine. I don't remember what I paid but I doubt it was more than $15 because at the time I got it, I...

I'd always thought that the concept behind "Third World" was that the First World were the Western democracies, the Second World was the communist...
Must be my affinity for Canadian wildlife coins. Nope, born in Green Bay, raised in Chicagoland.
I live in the Chicago suburbs and used to work in the city. Harlan Berk is the only shop I'm aware of, and it's about a six-block walk from the...
