This date (and type for that matter) was only minted at San Francisco. For what it's worth, there does appear to be a small bump where the mint...
As someone who collects by date, it can sometimes be hard to find later dates of certain types of coins, especially lower-value ones that end up...
Your coin is a normal circulation coin. The privy marks changed their orientation in 1975, when the owl was replaced by a dolphin. That's why the...

1 Cent 2 Cent From the description in your link, all 3 coins at those links are set issues.
Added two new countries to the collection today, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It is a 1/2, 1, 2 1/2, or 5 Centimos from Spain, from the 1860s. Here's a page you can use to figure out which.
There are a couple of more interesting coins in there, but apart from the silver, it's all stuff that most dealers would offer you a few bucks for...
I don't like it. The series get dull after a while. I wish we'd have a full-time design plus a couple commems every year, the way most other...
As cash becomes less common, a lot of countries that were once regularly issuing coins now do so sparingly, if at all. Bermuda and Norway are...
Oddly enough, I just checked my collection and 1947 is one of the last two dates I need to complete the run from 1928-1967.
That's a pretty interesting observation. While it's common in absolute terms, it's the lower mintage date of that two year type. Perhaps that...
These are super fun! The odd denomination is because when the Bahamas switched from the British pound to the US-equivalent dollar, 15 cents was...
While I agree with your point in general, I think it's worth differentiating varieties created unintentionally, such as this one, from varieties...
Most of the 1982 No P dimes ended up at Cedar Point.
I think this is the case. Weak strikes and minor errors are common, and if you buy a decent sized lot of modern Indian coins, you're probably...
I don't have any information to add, but I enjoy your finds and have learned a lot from them. While I don't actively collect them, I'll pick up FM...
South Africa did issue farthings, even after the UK stopped. Interestingly, theirs also featured birds: [ATTACH]
Nope. The 1989 1 Franc was minted in medal alignment, and the 1974 2 Francs was minted in coin alignment. Both are as they should be.
Coins from 1981 and before are coin alignment, coins from 1982 and after are medal alignment. This is true for all Swiss coins from 1/2Fr and up.
