Has anyone ever had this happen? I have a saved search that I use for world coins, and I've been using it for years. All of a sudden on my desktop...
I got a kick out of this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/COIN-1897-COUNTRY-UNKNOWN-10-OREBF-/371149832104?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item566a40ffa8
This was a coin I just happened to see for sale on eBay and picked up because I'd never seen it before. I spend a lot of time looking through...
What's the most frustrating is when you watch an auction for like six days and the whole time it's sitting there with one bid for $3, so you get...
I admit I do it on purpose sometimes. If I see a coin that I think is too cheap I'll bid knowing that I won't win it. If I win it's a good buy,...
I'd estimate that I'm the runner-up bidder on 75 percent of the auctions I bid on. It makes me wonder how much those coins would have sold for if...
The coin shop I go to had a Polish coin with a mintage of 10 in their last auction. I always wonder who ends up with those coins with mintages...
They're listed in Krause and I was trying to compile complete sets from both countries and have never been able to find those. The two Greek ones...
There seem to be a ton of Mexican coins like that. They're kind of neat but they must have had pretty bad quality control.
I've been looking for years for a 1986 Mexican 20 pesos and a 1992 Mexican 500 pesos. Never seen one for sale. Krause lists each at a few dollars,...
You can find mention in the third paragraph here: http://www.britroyals.com/kings.asp?id=george1 And here:...
I read a book not too long ago that mentioned that King George I (I think it was the first George) had two mistresses who were nicknamed the...
Thanks for the info. I always wondered what that symbol was. I have a lot of West African coins but this is the first essai. I had trouble...
I'd guess it's 1806 because that date seems really common. I agree though it's awesome to own something with George III on it just because of his...
I recently picked this up. As usual with coins with nice surfaces, the scanner doesn't do it justice, but I think it's a neat coin. It's an essai...
I knew that eBay and Paypal banned these coins but I've never seen an email like this. I think you are ok as long as you don't use the word "Cuba"...
I don't have pictures of everything. I'd love to share my collections but I don't see when I'm going to have time to scan hundreds of coins....
What irritates me that people do is they'll list a British Empire coin on eBay without identifying it and they only post a photo of one side of...
Australian proof sets can get pretty expensive. I have several because I am trying to assemble a complete Australian collection and there are...
I've always thought of the picture of the queen or ruler as the back of a coin. All of my coins go in 2x2s with the ruler on the reverse and the...
