I'm looking for any & all risque tokens and red light redeemables for a catalog I'm assembling of such items. If you're not interested in selling...
Does Cuba still have a 2-tier system? Also, how much does role does currency really play in day-to-day transactions in North Korea?
I've been trying to track down some of the odd Maison Close tokens (French bordellos). Most have been shell cards, and there are a surprising...
Thanks! That's a lot more information than I was able to find anywhere else. Any series where >9 known is considered "common" is a bit more...

I think chop marks should give a mild increase on value (after accounting for the damage done to detail on the coin). So, I would pay a few...

This dime sized coin appears to have the Royal Arms of England from the 12th-mid-14th century on it:...
You have an excellent eye and memory for detail. Looks like you nailed it. The 16 is clearly visible to the right of the crest (and there's a...
After the sugar cane is producing? Probably rum and ethanol. Seriously though, Cuba is a big potential market for US exports & a cheap source of...
I'm trying to figure out what on earth this is. It's obviously hammered, and appears to date from the Middle Ages to Renaissance era. The obverse...
The other one I picked up is a Breton 713: https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18421463132 https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18237828198...
