Thanks! That shilling has an interesting story. In 1992 or 1993, I was avidly collecting British coins and a very generous dealer in...
This Canadian coin was the most modern I've had in my Eclectic Box. If I remember correctly, it didn't cost too much more than spot. It's a...
Yes. I haven't done that since I'm into the older stuff personally, but I think modern commems near spot, especially proofs, would be appealing....
Mine might be Lighthouse brand, I think? 25 slots. Check places like Wizard Coin Supply. [IMG]
Basic PCGS and NGC plastic 20-count slab boxes can be had for a few bucks. I might have one to spare - you pay shipping. Of course you can go...

I really like that Portuguese coin.
A wise choice, I think. Agrippa looks rather stern on this bronze As. [IMG] There's another with green patina. When I posted the Nerva...
I bought this one raw for essentially spot price. Paid for the slabbing, of course. Was quite pleased with the outcome. [IMG]
The numismatic premiums are indeed too high if one is "stacking", but there is some happy middle ground in the Latin Monetary Union gold struck in...
Well, he was the second of four emperors in the turbulent civil war year of 69 AD, was a frail old man when he took power, and got whacked after a...
That's because @Peter T Davis is like the Great Oz. Nobody has proven to me that he actually exists, though I do get nice automated birthday...
