I think I'll probably sell it. I'm not confident that gold will stay as high as it is now, so if these are common then maybe I can buy a similar...
Actually, there's a secret to these coins. The date on one side is the year that the ruler took power. On the other side is the year of his reign,...
Thanks for the input. It's very tempting but I don't know what I'll do.
I'm not sure what insight you are looking for. 1964 seems to be a common year for Sierra Leone and there's not much value there. They're neat...
I am selling coins for a family friend, and today he gave me this 1914 A German (Prussia) gold 20 mark. I have the option to buy any of the coins...
It sounds like you have some idea what you're talking about as far as coins go, so that's a big help. If you have time to sell them on eBay I...

And this is the end of what I am planning to spend on this trip. It's been fun. Adieu to my traveling companions, and have a safe trip home.

This 1857 40 centesimos is a surprisingly large coin, and the 10 centesimos is one of my favorites.
As usual I'm running behind. I'm looking forward to spending these in Uruguay.
I like U.S. coins, but they are just too expensive. If you have a limited budget but still enjoy collecting, you get so much more for your buck...
Another good rule of thumb is that if something really appeals to you, odds are it will appeal to someone else too. It's not a perfect system, but...
Well, y'all are talking about ancient coins, but for my world coins I put them in 2x2s and then put them in pages in albums organized...
You can have a whole separate argument on the meaning of "modern," and people have done so here. Let's say you mean after World War II, which is a...
The problem is that every coin dealer in the world has a junk bin full of modern world coins that they sell for 25 cents apiece or less and that...
I also thought I'd visit the Falklands while I was here. Next up, Uruguay?
The Argentina 2 centavos is one of my favorite coins from anywhere.
A little more to spend in Paraguay.
