A few months ago I found a small gold Turkish coin in my coin shop's junk bin. I paid 15 cents for it and it has about 1/20th oz. of gold. I've...
That's a problem with eBay and coins - a lot of their features really don't apply to coins, but they try to fit everything into the same bucket. I...
Looks good to me. It's not a rare coin so it's unlikely to be fake. Many Greek coins from the 19th century are rare, but this isn't one of them....
This 1934 Estonia 1 kroon is something I've been eyeing for awhile and finally picked up. [ATTACH]
I've seen a lot of pictures but I don't own any. I have a pretty substantial Mexican collection but at first I focused on the lower denominations...
That's a nice one. I have a set of these Irish shillings and this is the one year in which mine looks really bad but I can never find a better...
I'm pretty sure it's "columnist" Jim Anchower from the Onion, am I right? I used to love his column.

It's a total crapshoot. I've found some great coins in their value bins, but sometimes it's the same old stuff. Last time I did this with the...

Agreed. I have many Canadian pre-confederation tokens but these are some of the nicest ones I've found.
I thought they were eye-catching. They also feature explorers, which is an area of interest for me.
Well, Christmas is coming ...
For a long time I was constantly shopping for coins on eBay. Now I have totally lost interest in that and I feel like I'm only interested in...
This last group has a Slovakian 50 korun from World War II when it was a Nazi puppet state, an older Iranian silver and two very old copper Nova...
Here are some neat Portuguese and Austrian commemoratives, with a big South African 5 shilling and a nicely toned Canadian 50 cent piece. [ATTACH]...
On Tuesday I went to my "local" coin shop (which is actually 25 miles away) which I do every few months. I usually just look through the 25 cent...
I got this a few weeks ago. It's the last of the Canadian "reflections" silver bullion series showing different animals reflected in the water. I...
This is the kind of coin that really interests me - those obscure bits of history like this.
