Do you have any tips for identifying world coins with non-western language and/or dating? Israel usually has the Menorah or Star of David....
I just received this 5 cent silver piece today. Unfortunately, it has corrosion not shown by the auctions blurry photos. [IMG] [IMG] Is this a...
I'd say your 1820 coin is a Great Britain Crown. It likely only has value little more than melt weight of the silver.
I recommend that you borrow a Krause Catalog from your local library. I have had the world coin bug too lately and have had some nice Polish...

My concern is saliva/fingerprints/whatever before they can be seen. How do you prepare/clean coins before putting them in the holder? Thank...

This reminds me of a story an old collector friend tells of a fellow who decided he wanted one million of 'something' so he hoarded wheat cents to...
Congratulations! That is an awesome accomplishment! What is your next goal?

Hello and welcome. My best guess is year 30. (1897)
I'd love to see some HiRes pictures if you're bored. :-) That's also true for Ardatirion's gold/silver alloy BU! Do you have better pics? Do...
While not as desirable as the others posted, here are a couple: [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks for the counting lesson Collect89! That's a nice Shu you have. Is it an Isshu gin 1868-69?
