Kookaburra can be an interesting bird. I had one that literally was my alarm clock in the morning. This is an example of the sound one makes. Not...
This will only work if you have a specialized field. Something that is reasonably common and has an established selling price - you may find it...
I guess 1980s was a rather difficult time for various mints and metal market. Silver price shot up to a rocket high 50 USD / oz. This is also the...
This may be very collectible if you collect Cola cola related products....
Fake. Edge is too smooth for it to be genuine. When dealing with Chinese numismatics, ensure that you pay more to get genuine examples from a...
If it is about UNC condition and let's suppose it's worn dies or something related. What does the edge look like? If it doesn't look like a...
I think you need to be grateful that the teller didn't kick a 'stink' out of it!

I guess for me, a lot of Russian type sets are now impossible to achieve. I've tried to collect all Soviet circulated coinage which proved to be...
It's sad but all you need is one fish to bite to spread the 'disease'. Counterfeiters don't have to get their hands too dirty with the...

I don't believe the counterfeit is that old. There was a huge batch of counterfeits that a seller was selling and he claimed that he bought it in...
