As cash becomes less common, a lot of countries that were once regularly issuing coins now do so sparingly, if at all. Bermuda and Norway are...
Oddly enough, I just checked my collection and 1947 is one of the last two dates I need to complete the run from 1928-1967.
That's a pretty interesting observation. While it's common in absolute terms, it's the lower mintage date of that two year type. Perhaps that...
These are super fun! The odd denomination is because when the Bahamas switched from the British pound to the US-equivalent dollar, 15 cents was...
While I agree with your point in general, I think it's worth differentiating varieties created unintentionally, such as this one, from varieties...
Most of the 1982 No P dimes ended up at Cedar Point.
I think this is the case. Weak strikes and minor errors are common, and if you buy a decent sized lot of modern Indian coins, you're probably...
I don't have any information to add, but I enjoy your finds and have learned a lot from them. While I don't actively collect them, I'll pick up FM...
South Africa did issue farthings, even after the UK stopped. Interestingly, theirs also featured birds: [ATTACH]
Nope. The 1989 1 Franc was minted in medal alignment, and the 1974 2 Francs was minted in coin alignment. Both are as they should be.
Coins from 1981 and before are coin alignment, coins from 1982 and after are medal alignment. This is true for all Swiss coins from 1/2Fr and up.
Whoops, I missed that in the OP, interesting. Looking at examples of the sets, they look like normal circulation-quality strikes to me, so I'm...
In this case, I don't think there would be any difference in finish between a set coin and a circulation coin, if one exists.
Got something that I was surprised to learn exists - a birth year coin in an OGH. Might have to try building the full set at some point. [ATTACH]...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I've wanted one of these in aluminum for a while now but it took me a while to find one at a good price. Paid $1 for the lot of...
That's the RCM's mint mark. It's been on all regular issue coins and some commemoratives since 2006.
That's awesome for a quarter bin!
They are bullion that are also coins on a technicality. Calling them a silver dollar isn't incorrect, but it also doesn't feel right to me.
It's more likely an honest accident, the two coins are similar in size and it's happened before.
Got two US coins in the mail today. First, this 3c nickel. Nothing to write home about, but it's a nice, wholesome piece: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] But...
