First Division Of Freemasons? Fireside Detectives On Freemont (st)?
I'd write those off and invest $15 getting a Krause world coin book. I say always invest in the knowledge before burning money on things you can't...
So, the obverse would show Queen Elizabeth with the 1974 date, right? I think the jeweler is about to send a 86.1 off for slabbing, thinking he...
Does the Holabird Guide to Pioneer Tokens discuss any material that would fall in this category? I don't have a copy, but am thinking about...
You are a miracle worker. Thank you, thank you, thank you! On 12> Were there really nearly 87,000,000 of these made? In comparison - that's...
And here's a token listed as a "French Brothel Token": http://www.ebay.com/itm/110896839239 [ATTACH]
In most cases, I prefer to get a 64 or below and save the money. The higher grades for many coins are already well appreciated, and I think lower...
And, while I believe many of the modern brothels offer silver rounds, were any tokens produced and used prior to 1930 (which is when I think the...
I am aware that there were legit establishments, but did they produce tokens? If so, who were the issuers, which are most common, and what was the...
The coin I saw in the shop looked just like this one (unless I missed something obvious): http://www.ebay.com/itm/110895811917
Where there ever any real brothel tokens? There are tons of fakes out there (I even bought a bag of them off of eBay a while ago and handed them...

Have you checked the sale forum here? I've also bid on iBids.com before, but their stuff tends to be wildly overpriced (or the pictures are so...
Very interesting. That might alter what I grab from dealer's junk bins. Do you have to travel to those countries to redeem the old currencies for...
Thanks!
I still have no labels on #12, #15 , #21 Bayern? (Date & denomination unknown), #23 Vienna? (date and denomination unknown), & #29. If I missed...
I can at least translate what the weight of 90% junk works out to in terms of silver. What bugs me is when people list in Av Ounces, Pennyweights,...
Really? I thought all the euro countries stopped trading their old currencies for Euros ages ago. How many euros are 1000 pesetas worth?
Maybe I'm confused. I thought you were asking for a story of something that is demonstrably a fake coin in what looks like a real NGC slab...
Well, I guess I wasn't the only one with an ethical objection! It was basically a listing for a bag of mediocre looking circulated silver coins...
