I love both Portuguese coins and history. Exploration and colonization is one of my favorite areas of history, and Portugal's contributions are...
I just added this overlooked Mali coin to my collection. [ATTACH]
Does it remove them or just keep them from forming?
Sounds like a good deal. I just checked and the only ones on eBay are over $100, so to me that's pretty pricey.
I put this in the new acquisitions thread, but I just got this German East Africa 1 rupie. [ATTACH]
This one is awesome. I'm going to bet it's rather pricey.
If you're referring to mine, I got it from China, which normally is a big red flag, but I ran it by several people on here before I bought it and...
Here's a type I've wanted for awhile, mostly because of the great helmet the kaiser is wearing. [ATTACH]

I'd like to add one of these to my collection, and I found one for sale, but the seller is in China. Normally that's all I need to know to avoid...
The elephant from German East Africa is my favorite because I like elephants, but they're all great coins.
Great coins. I like the first two and the two elephant coins the best, but they're all very nice.
The second coin came today, 1949 Swiss 20 francs. The auction was listed as a random date, so I didn't know what I'd be getting. It's not in as...
As someone who for years was buying the same type of coins I am now selling, I definitely know there's a place for selling the low value stuff....
