If you look at sellers in New Zealand or Australia you can find the individual coins for sale pretty much all the time, but they always get too...
I've never cared much about the grade as long as it isn't beat to heck. The one I bid on today wasn't great and it sold for $81. The bottom book...
Interesting. I'm a big New Zealand collector too and I'm always appalled at the prices some of the modern set-only coins sell for. That's why I...
I'm also in no way an expert, but it has that frosted look that you usually see on proofs.
That's a good price for that. You could pay more than that for the dollar. I have all the dollars in the series and it took quite a while to track...
That's what I was thinking. I'd keep the half cent, which I don't have one of, and sell the other three, which I have, and probably break even and...
They ended up selling for $7.75 plus $3 shipping. I thought the half cent would be worth more than that even in this condition. I bid but didn't...
I also thought it would be strange to make fakes that don't look good, but people always say not to put anything past them.
I saw this auction ending soon. Plenty of warning signs - mislabeled, low price, says item is in U.S. but seller has very poor command of the...
Here are my half pennies.
Wikipedia says this, so maybe you have something after all: "The 1985 version of this coin is particularly rare, and valuable to coin collectors -...
Well, the Krause Catalog of World Coins seems to think it's common, with a mintage of 2.7 million. Maybe someone else will chime in who knows...
Well, I was all ready to say nothing, but then I looked and it's actually the lowest mintage in the series. Still, most likely less than a dollar.
Here are my Irish pennies
You've inspired me to try to scan and post photos of my Irish collection. It will likely take me weeks to get it done, but here's the first:...
I can't speak to that because I'm talking foreign coins and there's no law against melting those. Dealers usually intend to separate out the...
I find silver coins almost every time I look through dealer's junk bins. It doesn't happen much with larger coins but dime or nickel size coins...
It's worth checking. A local bank which is inside some grocery stores in the area has their own change machines, and theirs have a flap covering...
Most of the time if I find something it's one penny, or a Mexican coin. This is the best foreign haul I've had. I figure it must be someone from...
I always check the Coinstar coin return slot when I visit the grocery store, and yesterday I was especially lucky finding this group of Lebanese...
