Not too sure if this would be inspirational for you or you might have seen this before. http://barrygoldberg.net/7070_intro.htm I'll come up...
This is something I've meant to do for a while and finally got around to cataloging all the Moldavia & Wallachia coins that I have in my...
Joe, that is correct. This is the only year where the wavy 20 cents variety is made. This was struck in London and it is assumed that only one die...
Should have added this - you can see an example of the difference of a standard and wavy 20 cents...
There is something fundamentally flawed with these albums - these are in medal alignment instead of coin alignment. (unless they are all error coins)
It's a tough call - if this was from a coin dealer, yes I would expect more information. But at the same time, if this came from a small time...

If I was not offended, that is not correct. It is not only my sole responsibility to report all the counterfeits that I see plus they have been...
If reporting them solves everything, I will endeavor to do so. The whole idea of this thread is to educate other buyers. Again the reason why...
I've decided to do post this thread in a different way to attempt to expose how counterfeiters these days try to peddle their wares. In this...
It's actually Japanese if I am not wrong. I'm not an expert in this as I don't actively collect them.
This is an interesting challenge that I've been up to. Actually there are two. 1) Finding Kiwi coins that circulate in Australia 2)...
