It seems like every coin I've been watching on eBay lately has gotten to some ridiculous bid. Here's a good example: 1930 Greek 20 drachmai:...
The problem you describe is something I've only noticed in recent weeks. There are a few people I don't remember posting before who are everywhere...
Actually my Krause says the 1869 half penny has a mintage of 3.25 million, so the value seems excessive. 1868 has 3 million and is valued at...
I saw it ended up selling for $22.50, to a different person than the one who outbid me. I agree that the mintage seems high for the price Krause...
I was watching this coin for a few days, and finally with less than an hour left I bid on it. It was sitting at $3.80, and I bid $15.50, and I was...
Realistically, Americans don't like to use change, and more and more people don't even like to use cash. How many of us know those smug people who...
I agree that when you start it helps to list a lot of low value coins and offer combined shipping. People are always looking to bundle. Shipping...
Here's an interesting article from Time magazine. Apparently North Korea has the same kind of printing presses as the U.S. mint and routinely...
I have two methods depending on the situation: Situation 1: The coin's starting price plus shipping is already at my upper limit for that coin. In...
Thanks Gary!
I have one more. I can't find it in Krause under any of the countries that come to mind.
Thanks again for the info!
Thanks for all the info. That's interesting about the possible counterfeit. I don't have time right now but I'll check it out later and see if I...
I decided I had to go out and get a Russian 5 kopek after posting this thread, and I got it today in the mail. This thing is a monster! It feels...
Here I have two Chinese coins. The 20 cash is in rough shape, but I still liked it enough to pay a quarter for it.
I'm hoping to get more info to identify these coins. I believe two are from Japan and the other from Taiwan, but that's all I have so far.
In this group, I know two are Japanese. I don't know about the last one. The two Japanese are the same denomination but I think different years.
I just bought some neat, older Asian coins, but I don't know much about them so I'm hoping I can get some ID help. The first three all have a...
Many of the more recent New Zealand coins have mintages around 10,000, so that makes them very hard to come by. I don't know why they made so few.
Siberian Man, that's what I think too. The prices don't accurately reflect the market. Other types of coins I buy for less than what Krause says,...
