It's hard to imagine a country so recently putting silver in its coins, especially a country that is not known for its strong currency....
From 1992 to 1995 Mexico produced bimetal silver 10, 20 and 50 pesos coins that were intended for circulation. Every one I've seen is heavily...
Such prejudice in this day and age is really sad.
I don't get any of these. They're obviously targeted at certain demographics.

I'm good at being patient when it's a coin that comes up for sale fairly often. I still need some New Zealand florins and half crowns for my...
Four things in my favor about this: The auction ended at 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning, the seller didn't ship to a lot of places, he didn't accept...
I just won a coin I've been seeking for a long time at a great price. The 1935 Brazilian 500 reis has a mintage of only 14,000. The last time I...
