That is a specimen set. Canada didn't do proof sets until 81.
I prefer the 1895-1936 reverse design over the bun head, but I still enjoy finding bun heads in bulk lots. I've got quite a few of the dates,...
Entry Post The North Carolina stamp is a reference to Kill Devil Hills, where the Wright Brothers first flight took place.
It's a bit of a mystery to me. My theory is that while there wasn't any demand for the coins in Metropolitan France, there may have been a need...
The current (1874-date) Swiss 1/2, 1, and 2 francs have a similar, but less artistically interesting, design.
It's 888b.1. b.2 would have a B mint mark. That's a pretty nice type example.
Spanish reales were legal tender at the time. 6 1/4 cents was equivalent to a half real, and change could be made that way.
Guilty until proven innocent, considering the source. Worth the gamble though. Good luck.
Got this nice lot of Swiss silver today. Believe it or not, the two 5 Francs are my first silver examples of that denomination. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Most of the obverses are alright but if they choose any of them other than Laura Fraser's design, it's a mistake. For Maya Angelou, I like design...

50 Won from South Korea.
It is copper-nickel. Like all world coins, I'd recommend numista as a quick reference.
Very nice! I'm sure they'd do well on ebay.
Nickels have gone over 5 cents in metal before with no noticeable effect on how they circulate. It would take the intrinsic value getting...
Guessing 66. I've handled a 65 of this date and they're much nicer than pictures tend to make them look, especially with light toning.
Looks like a repunched 9 to me as well. Colombian coins from this period are chock full of date varieties and errors.
Got a coin that I've wanted for a long time: VS2012 (1955) Nepal 4 Paisa [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

India's quality control is virtually non-existent, even on their numismatic products. I'd be more concerned if it didn't have a minor issue like that.
