I put all my coins in 2x2s. Most of them don't fit exactly but I don't see any reason why they need to be so snug.
When I sell I am very cautious about offending buyers, so I don't email them for nonpayment until five or six days have gone by, and then I am...
Sometimes I buy coins on wensy.com. They don't have fees at all. The problem as a seller is that you will rarely sell anything, and if you do will...

I'm certainly no expert, still being kind of new on the coin collecting continuum (I've been at it seriously for about two years now), but I have...
I kind of got spoiled the first time I went to a shop looking for world coins. They had a huge bin of them that was unsorted and I went through...
I wanted to share this 1923 Peru 1 sol that I picked up today. I think the design is pretty neat. I was checking out a new coin shop for the...
OK, I'll chalk this one up to a statistical outlier then. That's kind of what I figured but thanks for the reinforcement.
