I always thought the groats were for British Guiana, as you say in your listing. I have a few of those too. I have an interest in coins with...
Thanks, very interesting.
Here's an interesting coin - a totally stupid denomination and one of the smallest coins I've ever seen. 1834 Great Britain 1 1/2 pence. (Shown...
Italy really had it going on around the turn of the 20th century when it comes to coin design. Here are four that I added to my collection...

Well, it's new to me. It is interesting how the U.S. seems to cling to cash more than many other countries. I think going digital is a problem for...

I've never gotten one in my life.

It's bittersweet. If you're like me, you spend all this time building the set and then you complete it and never really look at it any more. It's...
Congrats. I know the feeling.

I stopped at a garage sale today. It was an older couple and they had a lot of collectibles, so I asked if they had any coins. They laughed and...
great, thanks.
