The Korean gold coins struck in Osaka mint are excessively rare in any condition. Believe that came from Jacob's collection which is really...
Soon TPGs would have to add in QR code with anti-counterfeit measures or something similar. Got to be one step ahead of the game.
There are quite a few "how are (objects) made" on YouTube. I can't imagine these to be too difficult considering that these were made probably at...
1724 kopek aren't common but when two are offered on eBay at the same time. They look awfully similar in wear and planchet flaws... both fake?...
Completed this a while ago but didn't get to catalog them. I was lucky that I got the 1998 set early. Found the 1946 coins to be somewhat...
I used to collect them before the prices became silly... http://gxseries.com/numis/pattern/pattern_coins.htm
If you are in the US, I believe it's best to go to coin fairs as they would be priced much better. eBay is no longer a bargain as sellers have to...

There are way more different types if you include eagle variations. Couple of links from my collection Silver...
That's pretty cool! I thought they struck coins at slightly different years. This is a type set album that I made a while back. I have issues...

I collect overstruck coin and this stumped me. I did some homework but would like second opinions. I believe is Spanish Netherlands Brabant 1713...
Saw a dealer that had this coin for three years but it's not my field of interest. Curiosity got the better of me. It looks like it isn't too...
This is a very random impulse purchase. Not quite a US coin collector and I don't even have a Morgan dollar! I normally focus on Far East...
It is 5 kopek. What does the edge look like?
I've always wanted an efimok but price has always been quite dear for them. Nice one! Some of the early Peter I ruble are overstruck over such...
The Chinese 2 jiao is easily a highlight. It is one illusive coin that keeps slipping out of my hands. Today a nice example is easily 3 - 4 figure!
Technology back in the day did not have precise scales for copper coins. These were often weight in batches and as long as they are within...
No opinion. There's just too much fakes and this is not my field. I personally think the coin looks too clean and tidy for something that's...
