No, I'm not referring to the first two atomic bombs. I am of course referring to these two new coins I picked up today. The fat man is a Chinese...
I took the day off on Tuesday to visit the coin shop and as usual came back with a big pile of coins. It'll take me awhile to go through them all...
I've been almost exclusively into world coins for the last ten years or so, but I was wondering what it would cost to get a U.S. half cent. Is...
This coin is oxidized and with the fancy lettering I just can't make out the name of the state. The date is 1920 and it says "Stadt ---" I have...
I don't know if it's a coin or just something coin-like but I got it in the world coin bin at the LCS. It's small and either aluminum or tin. It...
This is among the coins I recently bought at my LCS. This seems to be 1880 Philippines 20 centimos, which shows a mintage of 70,000 and a VF value...

I wouldn't call myself a "roll searcher" but I've been working on various Whitman folders with my six-year-old so we usually go to the bank every...
I'm asking $8 for the coin plus 60 cents shipping if you want it in a regular envelope (I know how to pack it to keep it safe) or $4 if you want a...
The other part of my recent modern Turk buying spree was some animal coins. There's a 2021 set of different birds, a 2021 dog and caracal set, and...
I just bought this 10 coin set of Turkish 1 kurus coins depicting the nine planets (including Pluto) and the sun. I thought it was different from...
Here's the last group of new pickups I wanted to share from the Central States show. Included in this group are an 1830 Bolivia 2 sols and 1872...
This isn't a specific collecting area for me but I just happened to pick up a bunch of new German States coins at the recent Central States show....
