I recently read a book called "The Downfall of Money" that covers the inflation in Germany after WWI. I'd recommend it to anyone on this board...
The only thing I'd disagree on is selling the commons to a dealer. Any shop I've been to will give you a few cents for a handful. You can get more...
It sounds like your collection is really nice, but most people probably would want to do their own thing with it. If I bought your coins I'd...
I understand why the OP is mad - because he feels ripped off. It's not about how much he paid or whether or not the item reached him safely. When...
I can't see my sweetie in that one ...
Yes, I would be annoyed. It's true that the buyer knew how much he was paying for shipping, but that's not the point. The point is that he...
That's great. I live between two post offices, and they are as different as night and day. One, where I do my business whenever I can, the clerks...
I can see the H on one but I have three others with either an H or KN that I can't see at all. These have to be the toughest mint marks I've ever...

He charged much less for shipping than he paid for it. $1.95 is what he charged, which is around what it costs to print a label off of eBay which...
Obviously no one is going to agree with me, but I think it only makes sense to charge what it costs you for shipping. There's nothing wrong with...
Well, he charged the shipping rate with tracking, so using tracking and not certified mail would have been more than adequate. Certified is way...
I purchased a 1903 Russian 3 kopeks coin on eBay. I paid $1.29 plus $1.95 for shipping, which is a total of $3.24. Well, the seller sent it to me...
Thanks for the explanation. I thought that might be the case. Then I won't feel so bad overpaying for them.
So far I only have three of the four 10 pesos coins. I still need the 20 and 50 pesos.
Does anyone have any thoughts about why these are relatively hard to find? I don't have my Krause in front of me but I know that none of the dates...
