I saw this auction ending soon. Plenty of warning signs - mislabeled, low price, says item is in U.S. but seller has very poor command of the...
Here are my half pennies.
Wikipedia says this, so maybe you have something after all: "The 1985 version of this coin is particularly rare, and valuable to coin collectors -...
Well, the Krause Catalog of World Coins seems to think it's common, with a mintage of 2.7 million. Maybe someone else will chime in who knows...
Well, I was all ready to say nothing, but then I looked and it's actually the lowest mintage in the series. Still, most likely less than a dollar.
Here are my Irish pennies
You've inspired me to try to scan and post photos of my Irish collection. It will likely take me weeks to get it done, but here's the first:...
I can't speak to that because I'm talking foreign coins and there's no law against melting those. Dealers usually intend to separate out the...
I find silver coins almost every time I look through dealer's junk bins. It doesn't happen much with larger coins but dime or nickel size coins...
It's worth checking. A local bank which is inside some grocery stores in the area has their own change machines, and theirs have a flap covering...

I always check the Coinstar coin return slot when I visit the grocery store, and yesterday I was especially lucky finding this group of Lebanese...
The farthings are quite hard to track down. Most have mintages of less than 500,000. They exist but they will sell for $10 or more each. I'm...
It's funny; I just bid on and lost that coin yesterday.
I was surprised how many different ones there are. I was looking it up in Krause and the listings just kept going.
One thing I can tell you is when I buy a coin from a smoker I can tell immediately when I open the package. Someone talked about this on here...
Here are two neat coins I got today. One is an Australia 1 penny token from 1859. Australia didn't mint official coins until 1910, and this is...
Thanks. That's kinda high for me though. I need to find someone selling one with an actual auction instead of a buy it now.
Nice. I'd like to get just one of the regular octopus coins. That has been on my list since I saw someone post one on this site. I'd also like...
