The farthings are quite hard to track down. Most have mintages of less than 500,000. They exist but they will sell for $10 or more each. I'm...
It's funny; I just bid on and lost that coin yesterday.
I was surprised how many different ones there are. I was looking it up in Krause and the listings just kept going.
One thing I can tell you is when I buy a coin from a smoker I can tell immediately when I open the package. Someone talked about this on here...
Here are two neat coins I got today. One is an Australia 1 penny token from 1859. Australia didn't mint official coins until 1910, and this is...
Thanks. That's kinda high for me though. I need to find someone selling one with an actual auction instead of a buy it now.
Nice. I'd like to get just one of the regular octopus coins. That has been on my list since I saw someone post one on this site. I'd also like...
On the left is the date in Arabic numerals in the Western Calendar. On the right is the date in the Muslim calendar, also in Arabic numerals.
I have a lot of Irish coins but I don't have them scanned. My goal is to complete the set from 1928-2000 (that's when the modern state minted...
I've been looking for a Greek coin expert for awhile. Can you answer a question for me? Krause lists a 1999 5 and 50 drachmes, but I don't think...
I like these coins in this series and I have the ones you showed as well. I'm discouraged by the sheer number of these 2 zlote coins though. I...
Peso literally means weight. I don't know the exact derivation, but I'd imagine it has to do with the weight of silver. Escudo means shield in...
Here are three more new ones. The South African 50 cents is the size of a silver dollar and has a mintage of only 26,000. I can't believe it books...
On the other hand, if it's a hard to find coin, you can buy this one now and keep looking for a better one. If you find the better one later, you...
Here are 2 new ones for me. The 1954 Czech 25 koruna is part silver, and the 1942 Mexican 50 centavos is a semi-key date that I think is way...
Here are three I picked up recently. The 25 pesos and 1000 escudos are silver. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
When I buy world coins I always use the bottom condition's book value as the basis for the coin no matter the condition. Krause's values jump a...
I agree, I think it's a shilling, not a double florin. You said it was in a roll of quarters. A double florin would be much bigger.
I like African coins because one of the things that interests me in coins is having something from historic places, especially places that don't...
Here are four that I just picked up. One is a Sachsen 1 mark notgeld coin from Germany. This is made of porcelain, and I've wanted a porcelain...
