A lot of the rolls are damaged. Every single coin in a large percentage of rolls is simply destroyed by improper storage. Most of these rolls...
Thai is good. I don't believe these coins are nearly as common as Krause suggests and they have a growing middle class.
Nepal is one of the better moderns. M int sets are hard to find and few collect them. It might be many many years before the coins are...
It took me many years of collecting moderns to warm up to the one cent coins. This is because I always had the notionthat most US modern coin...
