Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Interesting how they were made in multiple countries.
I have them all in 2x2s in binders. It's two full binders right now, so it's a lot of coins.
Follow up question: Do you think this is fake? I'm pretty sure it is, but I'd like confirmation. The eagle looks off....
Yeah, I was looking to avoid a Chinese counterfeit. I don't know much about these coins but I had an idea that this one wasn't really from 1780.
I ended up getting it for $5. Worth it?
It does have the edge inscription. I saw it for sale so I don't have it in hand to measure it or tell if it's silver.
So the restrikes are still silver and the same composition? Is it like a frozen date? Were they restruck to circulate or as a collector's item or...
I'm curious if this coin is real or a fake? And if it's a fake, what gives it away? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think I'm good for the 70s now, though there are a few tough dates there. The 1973 1 centavo and the 1975 (I think) 10 pesos are hard to find,...
I might still need that 1915 too. I know I have both for either the 1 or 2 centavo, but I'm not positive which one. I need a few of the earlier 50...
I picked up this 2013 specimen set for the $2 coin with the bears. Frustratingly I can't get a good closeup picture of the Bears. I can't scan...
Yes, I have many other interests but this is one of the first sets that I set out to complete and it would be great to get this last coin. I need...
Some of you know I've been working on completing a modern Mexican set (1905-present) for a few years now. There are a few stubborn coins from the...
Doesn't look like a coin to me.
Most of my coins were from junk bins and there have definitely been some good finds, but this is one of my favorites.[ATTACH]
Here are some new ones I got today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I admit I have purchased some NCLT recently because I was trying to build up my collection of coins with a few specific animals on them, and there...
I have several more coming too that I haven't received yet. There are a few 50 cents coins with Labrador retrievers, some 50 cents with birds and...
Agreed, I always wonder what the people think who bought when it was so high. If they regret it or still think the economy is going to collapse....
Some of their stuff is pretty stupid but they have some really nice stuff too.
