I got this in the mail today. 2012 50 Tenge from Kazakhstan. I love praying mantises so I had to have this.
I agree that the Nazi era coins are a little neat because of the historical significance, but most are very common. If you browse the world coins...
I bought one recently for about $11 I think, which is the silver value. I agree they are a beautiful coin though.
That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.
So why is this a forgery as opposed to a token? There are a slew of British tokens from this time period and I haven't heard them referred to as...
I can only imagine what the selection might be like in Europe. I don't think I'd be able to get them home on the plane though. I wouldn't be able...

Three more 500 drachmas.
Who knows more about the Olympics than the Greeks?
I was trying to look this up in Krause. The listing for Rhodesia and Nyasaland starts in 1955 and Rhodesia in 1964. It says to refer to Southern...
For me what makes it an issue is one of the ways I like to try to collect is trying to get all the coins from a given nation (exceptions for...
I agree with you JB. I think there's a notable difference between coins that circulate and those that don't. It's frustrating looking through...
I just got this today. It has birds on both sides. 1975 New Guinea 20. Not sure offhand what the T stands for.
