I understand this problem. What I do is for the countries that I focus on, I print up lists either of the coins I have or the ones I need, and...
In any case it was a nice pickup for $1.50. I'm not a currency collector really but I buy notes that are cheap and catch my eye. I got about 8 or...
I'm someone who doesn't spend much on coins and what I like to do is look through value bins where everything is 50 cents or thereabouts (I...
Yes, I read the website. It's very interesting. I don't know much about Mongolia.
Thanks. So my guess was correct.
Here are three of my interesting pickups from the Chicago International Coin Fair today. I'll probably be sharing more as I get a chance. I love...
It has Cyrillic letters but an Asian looking man as the portrait. Best I could guess was Mongolia or some Soviet Asian territory, though I don't...

It's part of Malaysia nowadays I think. Either that or Indonesia.
Too many mints for me. That's why I start my collection at 1906. I have some coins from before but I'm not really targeting them. For the more...
Who's excited about the Chicago International Coin Fair this week (though it's not actually in Chicago)? I've gone the last two years and plan to...
Nice Sonlarson. I just picked up the 1908 20 centavos last week so I think I have all of that denomination. Next up for me is the silver 50 centavos.
Yes, I got one silver 1968 and three 1968s that were not silver. I was surprised how easy it is to tell the difference. I guess there are two...
Does Indonesia use Chinese characters on their money? I've only ever seen the Western alphabet on their coins.
They came today and there were indeed 8 silver quarters. The dates range from 1951 to 1968. It's a little more than an ounce of silver, and...
