Hiddendragon, Thanks again. Great assistance. I'll stick with the tracking option. I have shipped to Canada already with no problems.
Hiddendragon, Thanks again. I haven't seen "First class international package" as an option, but I haven't listed to sell outside of the U.S....
Thanks for the great advice. I have two questions. If you use international stamps and regular envelopes how does eBay provide a discount, or...
What we need to expand markets globally is improved global shipping for collectible coins. EBay's global shipping program excludes shipping of...
IMHO it matters little what values are listed in various sources if a seller is not able to access those markets. I sell on eBay so I just check...
Here is another recycled coin. This one from Sweden, an 1805 Skilling, KM# 566 (top picture) was struck over an earlier 2 Ore, probably like the...
Thanks Harris498. KM# 27 was 24 mm in diameter, so this coin was cut down before being stamped for a KM# 30. In a true sense, this coin was...
Going through some older world coins I ran across this Finland 1930, Markka, KM# 30 stuck over a KM# 27. I can't see the date on the original...

All good advice. I'd add one additional suggestion. Check with your brother. He collected them and probably has some opinions on how you might...
Caution in making accusations is always best. I recently sold a three coin set of uncirculated commemorative coins on eBay and the buyer claimed...
There was a previous thread on what was assumed to be an aluminum penny, turned out to be plated also. High school chemistry classes had a lab...
My uncle was a coin collector and saw the charges for a safe deposit box consuming the increase in value of the coins he had so decided to buy a...
Unlike U.S. coins and post 1600 world coins, researching ancients cannot be done easily in digitally available references. Rather, it depends on...
Another "construction" find. I found this 1887 Indian Head Cent while helping my father dig footings for an addition to our home when I was 10. We...
I've been selling coins on eBay for several years and have never used the reserve price option until today, for one coin, thanks to this thread....
