I agree with everything you said, Medoraman. I know I've gotten a ton of good deals because I caught people snoozing, and it more than makes up...
Here's an example on the other end of the spectrum. I just won this auction for a 1920 French 5 centimes and 1921 10 centimes, both the larger...
The guy I bought these from specializes in coins from that area and he had a ton of them listed. I don't know how many different ones come out...
I've found as I've focused on getting certain coins that some sell for way more than the Krause value and others way less. There are some Mexican...
It sold for $9 this time, plus nearly $3 to ship. It's not as nice though, and it was still higher than I wanted to pay. I bid $8.50 and didn't...
And yes, they're all 2 zlotys. I didn't scan the other side since they're all the same, except they're from a few different years.
You can have fun with the double meaning. My mom is Polish, and one time I saw her with (nail) polish remover, and I said, "Mom, I don't think you...
Thanks. Yeah, I thought a commemorative coin commemorating coins is pretty neat. They look better in person too because I guess there's some dirt...

I second this on the people mistaking coins for silver. I always see auctions for Mexican 5 and 5 centavos from the late 30s or 40s as silver,...
I'm kind of afraid to spend something like that because I'm worried it will cause a scene with some cashier who doesn't know what it is. Other...
Other things that just annoy me on eBay are people who describe every coin as "beautiful," "gorgeous," "stunning," etc., even if it looks like...
Here's a picture if anyone wants to see what 328 Ikes look like. I haven't had time to look through them completely, but an initial inspection...
It sounds like a great deal to me so if it were me I'd just buy any ones I thought were silver and the ones that were would more than pay for...
Are they no longer making coins in Costa Rica and Bermuda?
Certainly don't throw them away. A lot of people value foreign coins even if they have no book value. Folks like myself try to complete sets just...
I like what RaceBannon said. I'd differentiate an accumulator as someone who just buys coins even if they don't need it for any set or whatever....
