I don't know why, but an 1890's Rhode Island shopkeeper seems like someone that would be very uptight. I can picture one now, with a handlebar...
Great coins! The 20-centavo design has always been one of my favorites from that country. It would have been nice if they had used that design on...
I have never actually purchased coins from the Vatican because of the price, so I didn't know the site was no longer operational.
I don't think it's possible that live trees were used, but I know that it old lumber is found, it can be roughly dated by how close the rings are...
The line on the reverse of the coin that goes through the map is the 38th parallel, by the way. Very nice coin!
After this commemorative was issued, the U.S. Mint said they would never strike another commemorative coin for an anniversary other than 50th,...

The silver value is $10.40 for each one of those, so you did great! Here's a tip if you're buying Canadian dollars: If there's an uncirculated...
A dentist office stocked with coin magazines playing Coin Chat Radio! :eek: Suddenly that root canal isn't sounding so bad.
Maybe you dentists should use some of that loan money to get newer magazines and put something other than Nickelodeon on the TV in your office for...

GD, are you Newt Gingrich? If you are, will you run for president? If you don't respond, I'll know you are Newt.
Well, I think I know what they might say. This is what they would say for a 2009 cent: This is the ONLY time these will ever be minted! The ONLY...
