Not quite 1930s but one of my all-time favorite coins here: [ATTACH]
It's the wrong size for a Canadian cent of that era. Has to be Britain, Australia or New Zealand.
Yeah, I think I did really good on this visit. I got a lot of other coins from the 3 for $1 bin that I need to look up but I'm pretty sure there...
It seems like the James VI is an Irish gun money shilling. I'd be curious to know what any experts think of it.
Yeah, that's what I said. I took a half day off of work to visit this coin shop in the area that I only go to about once or twice a year. I like...
I added two expensive coins to my bears collection, including by far the oldest one yet, a 1621 thaler from St. Gallen, Switzerland. The other is...

I feel like anyone I've told about my hobby has been very accepting. Sometimes they say it's cool or ask questions or say a relative collects....
I'll get rid of a coin with ugly toning no matter the grade. Even if it's uncirculated, I don't want to look at it.
It's a hobby so you can do what you like and no one else can tell you what to do. And odds are you will re-evaluate some things as you go on and...
I think chasing after low mintage coins is a trap. You do it because of the feeling of exclusivity, or you want to impress someone that you have a...
From your pictures it looks like it was cleaned but that might not be the case in hand. I agree with others though that there's no reason to...
Mexican coins were one of the first areas I focused on when I really dived into foreign coins. My goal was to have a complete set of everything...
