It's difficult to describe the feeling of looking at a coin and seeing a non-clad, purely silver edge. Not to mention a stack of them. Yum.
I see the gold Reiwa coin selling on Ebay between $1,400 - $2,000. Yikes. That's more than I would want to spend, regardless of the quality of the...
This is one of the nicest 1/2 Sens I've ever seen (although I'm sure nicer ones exist). As usual, pictures don't do it justice. It glows with full...
Fantastic Edward the Confessor coins! Wow! Whether or not he actually made the same promise to bequeath the crown to both Harold Godwinson and...
Anything I no longer deem special I try to sell. I just unloaded a bunch of stuff on Ebay that no longer really honked my kazoo. Impulse buys show...
Is that an online article? If so, can you post the link? Thanks!

Japan's commemoratives differ from US commemoratives in two very distinct ways: Japan seems to have the sense to not make too many commemoratives...
My cousin's wife actually drove the Wiener mobile for a while some years ago. She says it's always a conversation starter no matter where she is...
Like many people here, I also succumbed to the hoarder mentality. After a number of years of buying things that stimulated my brain's pleasure...
I am suspicious of manufactured collectables such as the "American Innovator" series. Others have already mentioned the "collector's malaise" that...
Waffling is very interesting, because it represents acceptable and collectable mutilation. It helps that the mint does the actual mutilation, of...
The obverse is almost identical to the image below. A marriage token looks like a good call, since Vcoins describes it as "France, Token, Royal,...
The online currency converters I just consulted all said 500¥ = $4.62 to $4.63. The most precise said 4.627092, which changed in the highest...
