How about when they enclose each coin in a little bit of something and then wrap like half a roll of packing tape tightly around it? How is one...
If you collect coins for awhile you'll learn the giveaways like the flower in the middle of each coin is a chrysanthemum, which is the royal...
It's from Thailand. I'm not sure the denomination offhand. 25 satang maybe?
I appreciate the offer, but I took Sonlarson up on his generous offer. I feel kind of bad taking freebies from members though when I can afford to...
Well, as I think I said, I wasn't expecting a certain "grade" because I'm not into grading coins. I just expected one without obvious damage....
Just for fun, here's mine. [ATTACH]

There's probably a lot of them but this one springs to mind for me right away. I like this coin a lot. [ATTACH]
I believe S coins are only made for sale to collectors. In earlier years they circulated but not anymore.
This is a good point. Like in my earlier collecting days I tended to start collecting sets of types of coins I'd see a lot in junk boxes, so one...
Thanks for the offer, but I don't really want to put anyone out. I'll probably end up getting the P and S on eBay eventually to fill my...
The pennies with the P mint mark came out in 2017, and here it is in July 2018 and I still have never seen one. I know I could get one on eBay,...
Not to mention that when you think about how most series have some key dates that mean big money for a coin that is otherwise just like the rest...
