I hate airtites, or any plastic coin holder for that matter, they scratch very easily. Then once your done it looks like something you would get...
Actually at one time sellers could leave buyers negative feedback, but eBay took that option away around 2008 when Ding Dong Donahoe (the ceo of...
I'm wondering if a ziploc bag would be okay for storing paper money, as it does not have pvc in it.
I got one of these notes the other day. I noticed someone wrote their name, covering the entire bill. While looking this note up, I find many...
They are japanese 100 mon coins. The middle one and the left one is from 1835. The one on the right is from 1862. Are they real? I have no idea.
I purchased a couple of world notes at an auction. I took one of the notes out, and sniffed it (don't ask me why:D). Well, the note smelled...
