When I saw it I immediately thought either France or Austria, but was unable in a quick search to locate anything that matched. You might want to...
Not really. There are a few that are hard to find but most are common as dirt. If you go into a coin shop and look at their world coin value bin,...
I know what you mean about the 1 centavo. I finally won the 1973 on eBay after getting outbid about 10 times. Then I found one in a coin shop for...
One other little tip I'll mention. I always bid in odd amounts. Like instead of bidding $2.00, I'll bid $2.04. Once in awhile you'll win an...
Your second coin there is from Paraguay. There used to be a lot of world coin discussions on this forum. I'm not sure what happened.
I'd recommend you keep trying. Try to find auctions that end at less popular times like really late at night or the middle of the day on a...
I also collect Mexican coins, though I'm mostly into the 20th century coins. I get turned off by a wide variety of mintmarks, which is the case...
Ebay requires that you have a picture with all listings, but they don't care what it is a picture of. You can post a photo of your cat if you want...
Something else you can do that might get you a better value is separate them into small groups of similar items to sell. Like maybe take 10 coins...
That's what I was going to say too. Maybe send half to me and half to Ripley. Seriously though, there probably isn't as big a market for world...
"Good enough" and "not good enough" is another good description of my personal grading scale. If I can get a nicer coin for a similar price I...
Personally, my grading scale is something like this: Lousy, OK, Nice, Very Nice. I'll buy anything except lousy, and I even buy lousy if it's...
I feel like world coin collectors aren't sticklers for condition the way U.S. coin collectors are. If you go over to the U.S. coin discussions on...
If I was shipping a roll I'd buy small bubble mailers (I get them in lots of 25 on Amazon) and print out the packing slip and wrap it around it. I...
It's impossible to get negative feedback as a buyer so I don't see why this matters, and people can only block you from bidding due to nonpayment....
The first thing I'd recommend is search completed listings for people selling the same thing you are selling. You can see what theirs were selling...
Yoda, what's the year and denomination on those?
A few comments on what people said: While the state law may have failed (I don't know for sure), it was local laws that the coin store owner was...
I don't know what I think about it. On the one hand, it seems like a bit of an overreaction, but it seems like some of the rules are onerous to...
I thought people here would be interested in reading about this. My local coin store is closing two of its three branches because of new rules...
Separate names with a comma.
