Well said, Ed! I am sort'a shocked that I have nothing dated 1805. So, I will keep us in the Netherlands East Indies with this here 2.5-cent...
Oh, man! No, no, no! No pardons necessary, mein Herr! On the face of it (the coin - that which we could see) you were correct. I want and need...
Fantastic, TurboSnail! How do you know this? An interest in such things or an adherence to the tradition? And you can read that? If yes, I'm...
Thanks, Ed! I truly appreciate your attention. When I got that coin I had difficulty placing it. However, after scratching what hair follicles...
We'll just zing back across the Atlantic on over to Morocco! A 1947 20-francs (Y 45). So, did the glue hold well enough? [ATTACH]

Off to another micro-state! Andorra! A 2002 one-centim (KM 178). [ATTACH]
Thanks, Kentucky! Is it really so obvious, the color? Green like Kentucky bluegrass? Green like a the green ink on a dollar? Green like a...
Thanks, Larry! They do look happy, don't they!? That is one variable in my hesitation to remove them. Best regards, David
Before I cut these Vatican coins out of this original packaging, I thought I'd get some advice or input from y'all. I bought this in Vatican City...
One of my newest! A Liechtenstein, 2019 10-franken, commemorating 300 years of the principality of Liechtenstein. [ATTACH]
All right! So, starting from Ottoman Empire/Turkey, I'll move us to Armenia. Actually part of the Ottoman Empire, I'm sure, but today a place...
Slim options for me here. I really need to expand my collection of the coins from African states. Let's try Tanzania. A 1990 50-senti (KM 26)....
