I had my bathroom remodeled a few years ago in a portion of my house built in the late 80’s. The contractor pulled out a tin from under the...
I don’t understand the criteria for “plus” grades. I can see the technical grade being what it is for luster and marks, but if this coin isn’t at...
64+ both times
65 both times. Subdued luster but bumped up for eye appeal.

Definitely an interesting motif. Not sure how they came up with 3000 years of Georgian statehood. It seems a bit of a stretch… They do have...
I’ve also been to the one in the arcade and it didn’t have the selection I was hoping for and it seemed pricey. But was fun to add that to my...
The price is perfectly understandable when we consider that there are probably a lot more than 15 collectors who want a 2001 Buffalo for every...

I prefer older 8 reales but agree that the 1887 is off the charts.
You sure know how to pick them! The Isabella has been on my bucket list for quite a while and I doubt I’ll ever find one as nice as yours. The...
It would be interesting to see a breakdown of what coin types those 900 counterfeits represent. Also does that include altered dates or is that a...

I’m surprised that the denominations are the same as for Japanese coins considering that the won only has a tenth of the value. It seems a one or...
The Stalin Museum in Gori is really something to see. I remember wearing a coat in the unheated building back in 2006. The death mask sticks out...
