I received my Apollo 11 proof silver dollar a week or so ago and I have to admit that this is one of the better commemorative designs that the...
Yes, that's a very cool Latin document, though I had to turn my head ninety degrees to read it. :D Thank you for sharing!
Probably the best way to find out if the ANA works for you is to join for a year and find out. As others have already said, $28 doesn't exactly...
Yes, these are all modern Japanese coins and in their circulated condition they don't have much value, but they are cool coins anyway. Top coin:...
There is very little money to be made in coins, especially for the general public. I haven't sold too many coins, but I have almost always sold...
Heh - I really messed that post up. I actually ordered a proof silver dollar. I have no idea why I typed half. I was probably doing two things at...
Pretty much every raw coin I bought before I learned more about grading. I was taken horrendously multiple times, but I didn't realize it for...

"明治二十五年" is the date of this 5 Yen coin, which means "Meiji Year 25 or 1950. That coin is the old style with the "Kaisho" lettering and has a...
Yes, "明治四十四年" is Meiji Year 44, or 1911, but this will display backwards on the coin because it dates to when Japanese was written right to left....
