Chances are, you are much better off knowing the true value before putting it up on ebay as many world coins are worth even less than the listing...
Actually that's not bad. I wouldn't mind cleaning totally damaged or corroded copper coins as long as you don't harshly clean them. Most...
Thanks for reminding me Topher - doh [img] It's actually Year of Family I think, not too sure if there is International Year of Children....
So I was reading a few threads about coin sets being broken up - obviously it has happened a few times Dude: Wow grandma a birthday gift...
Couple more that I can think of: World Children Summit in New York. Not too sure why Russia under that era would commemorate such coins...
Unfortunately it seems an awful amount of these coins are minted in China and there are some allegations that fantasy coins are being produced.

That's neat. Thanks for showing. I did remember showing a batch of Russian coins that I have. Should create a homepage.

The problem is not when you are stapling the 2x2 but instead when you are removing the staples and that is where you hear horror stories of people...
There are edges made even back in 1700s. Those are extrusive text, not intrusive text like current coins these days. And oops forgot to mention...
That I believe is quite unusual and therefore would have a prenium to it. I don't remember seeing a lot of error bi-metals so the value can be...
Good question, I really don't know although I am suspecting that if no grease is applied, it can be possible that the coins can get stuck to the...
