I just got this set with the descriptions in Spanish and possibly issued in Panama in 1982. I had previously posted a 1983 Proof Set with Spanish...
Here are some pictures of the 1902 Matte proof 5 Sov. and 2 Sov coins. I primarily collect silver and copper/bronze but appreciate the golds. I...
St. James's recently (24 February) had a sale of sovereigns that confirmed why it is that I do not collect such. Common date Victorian sovs went...

OK, don't bust me on this, but no pictures just yet as I am at work. What is the news? Well, just yesterday I got one of the "White Whales" that...
OK, I'm not trying to wear readers out but I have been collecting and studying currency (and proof) issues of the Franklin Mint from the 1970s and...
