Very well done!
There are a large number of 20000 reis coming up in the Heritage auction at CICF. They're fantastic coins which are very fun to hold due to their...
See this article on trading coins with dealers for some helpful advice:...
I'll be going - CICF is primarily ancient/world coins, so if you're interested in that area, you'll probably find something you like. It's a...
