My son and I have been buying quarter rolls to complete the various Whitman folders. We're having a heck of a time finding the 2010 and 2011...
I did the same as you when doing this one with my son this year and for the same reason.
Sorry Panama pill, but this one is smaller. Travancore 1 chuckram. This thing is truly tiny, about the size of the head of a screw or nail. The...
I don't know that it's inflation but prices have gone up a lot on certain coins. Selling on eBay I find that anything silver has gone up a lot. I...
Here's "the big nickel" next to the real one. [ATTACH]
It's about the size of a dollar and is from a museum in Sudbury, Canada that has a 30-foot version outside of it....
I've always wanted one and was surprised to find it there. I'm not sure how much he charged me but I don't think it was a lot, and I wonder if he...
Also these. Notable here, if the Chinese coin is authentic it's a good find. I've ID'd it as 1926 Kangsa 50 cash. Also the 1932 Cuba 20 centavos...
Here are some recent buys from my LCS that I thought were particularly interesting. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I wondered what these were for. Thanks for the explanation.
Here's some mostly silver high-grade coins that I picked up last week from my LCS. Of note, the first coin is a 1902 Iranian 5 kran which is crown...
I don't particularly collect toned coins but I couldn't ignore these that I found on my latest trip to the LCS. It's hard to capture toning with...
I've found them cheaper at a coin show than anywhere else, but who knows if your coin show will have them and if they'll be cheap.
I believe 1926 2 francs is a better date, though they don't sell for a lot.
I agree. I have some Conder tokens, Canadian pre-confederation tokens and a few Civil War tokens. I think they're interesting. The fact that they...
I was at my LCS looking through a big bin of unsorted world coins and among my pickups were these two American tokens. It looks like the 1837 Hard...
Interesting. Thanks for the responses. My son will be happy since it's a coin he got today.
This looks different from the usual cash coins I find. I think I see the number 2 on the side that usually has the mint location. What do I have...

It seems like all the older British issues are pretty heavily worn so I can imagine you don't see many in great shape.
