That Latvian coin is nice. I bid on one recently but didn't get it. It's interesting how so many Latin American coins specify weight and fineness...
It does indeed, though I'm not sure I see the font discrepancy. The coin is supposedly actually coming from Cyprus, not China or Russia or...
LOL
No kidding! I'm going to have to start poking my head into pawn shops.

Cyprus, 45 Piastres, 1928 (mintage 80,000) I just won this coin and am nervous about it. It is cheaper than expected (with shipping, GBP 20.50,...
I'm far from an expert on this particular coin, but it looks like a low AU or high EF. There is substantial wear on the breast of the eagle, but...

That's a beautiful one. It gives a lot of 18c. thalers a run for their money!
When I got a $5 coupon from them last month, coins were also excluded, so there's good reason to be concerned about a policy change here.
Gonna have to take my time to go through these and see what inspires me! Nice wildman. I read this interesting article about these coins a few...
Indeed. That 1871-1914 period was the high point of the global gold standard, but silver seems to have been pretty universal for...
That Frankfurt thaler is a monster! The toning is great of course, but I really like the luster and detail in the hair on the obverse. The Swiss...
I have been fascinated by the politics of silver coinage around the world and have been doing quite a bit of research on silver crown- and...
Guys, there are 7 prizes, not 11. ;) Some of the coins have separate images for obverse and reverse, and @Nas appears to be giving away two proof...
I especially like the Colombian.
Fair enough! I was going on an increasingly faulty short-term memory. :)
