I feel like New Zealand coins are undervalued in Krause. Many are listed at 10 cents or so, but I am frequently outbid on eBay in the $3-$4 range....
A few days ago I posted some of my favorite big copper coins. Well, I like big coins in general, not just copper, so here are a few huge base...
I agree that Argentina has some nice coins. I don't specifically seek them out, but anytime I see one at a good price I grab it. I was ignoring...
Here's an 1881 Haiti 2 centimes 1884 Sarawak 1 cent 1909 Netherlands Indies 2 1/2 cent. These are also about the size of a half dollar.
These are more the size of a U.S. half dollar or old British penny, but they're still nice. 1811 Russian 2 kopeks 1833 Spanish 8 maravedis 1894...
About a year ago my local coin shop had one of the 5 kopeks and they wanted $75 for it. Maybe that date was especially high, but it was too much...
Here's a few more: China Ho-Nan province 100 cash (can anyone tell me the year on this?) 1857 Uruguay 40 centesimos 1854 Upper Canada 1 penny token
The 80 reis is slightly bigger than an Ike dollar. I put it in a 2x2 meant for a dollar, but the edges are cut off and it was hard to staple. As...
I love big coins, especially big old copper or bronze coins. I just got this 1832 Brazil 80 reis in the mail today, and I think it's awesome. It's...
I am someone who tries to collect sets, and I can say that as the size of the set increases, the likelihood of me pursuing it decreases. I was...
Even at the most basic level, Canada has quarters featuring individual Olympic athletes. I don't know if they are general circulation or just...
Baseball cards had the same problem. There were three or four main makers, each of which made one set a year. Then new companies came out and...
You both make good points about prices rising. When wages are expected to always increase, prices also increase and if you're lucky, everything...
Also there's the fact that the drachma is the Greek equivalent of the dollar, yet at the end they were producing coins in 50 and 100 drachmes...
Obviously there was something weird going on with Greece. Their coinage is unusual because over a period of about 50 years, they only issued maybe...
This is going to be one of those coins that Krause says is worthless, but when one finally comes up on eBay it will sell for $30. Recently I bid...
OK, thanks. When Krause just puts a line under the mintage I don't know what to think. Sometimes it means only three were made, or that it was...
Thanks for the info, but I'm not equipped for that level of close analysis.
Krause lists a 1999 Greek 5 drachmai and 50 drachmai, but I've never seen one listed for sale and other Greek coin sites don't list them. Does...
