77 is actually 1988. It's 77 years since the founding of the Republic of China. Japanese coins use a similar dating system where it is the year of...
Maybe if it goes on too long. I hate calling companies.
I'm getting it for any combination of search methods, and I even tried a different account and had the same problem. It looks like I won't be...
Now it's broken on both computers, so ...
I'm pretty sure it's Taiwan but otherwise yes, it's a common modern.
I tried all of the things you two recommended with no result. This has been doing this for almost a week now so it's not a one-time thing or...
Has anyone ever had this happen? I have a saved search that I use for world coins, and I've been using it for years. All of a sudden on my desktop...
I got a kick out of this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/COIN-1897-COUNTRY-UNKNOWN-10-OREBF-/371149832104?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item566a40ffa8
This was a coin I just happened to see for sale on eBay and picked up because I'd never seen it before. I spend a lot of time looking through...
What's the most frustrating is when you watch an auction for like six days and the whole time it's sitting there with one bid for $3, so you get...

The coin shop I go to had a Polish coin with a mintage of 10 in their last auction. I always wonder who ends up with those coins with mintages...
They're listed in Krause and I was trying to compile complete sets from both countries and have never been able to find those. The two Greek ones...
There seem to be a ton of Mexican coins like that. They're kind of neat but they must have had pretty bad quality control.
I've been looking for years for a 1986 Mexican 20 pesos and a 1992 Mexican 500 pesos. Never seen one for sale. Krause lists each at a few dollars,...
You can find mention in the third paragraph here: http://www.britroyals.com/kings.asp?id=george1 And here:...
I read a book not too long ago that mentioned that King George I (I think it was the first George) had two mistresses who were nicknamed the...
Thanks for the info. I always wondered what that symbol was. I have a lot of West African coins but this is the first essai. I had trouble...
I'd guess it's 1806 because that date seems really common. I agree though it's awesome to own something with George III on it just because of his...
