What you said here makes a lot of sense, but of course the Catch 22 is that you need to get experience somewhere. I am still probably on the...
Here's the other two. The first I thought might be nationalist China because the flag reminds me of that. The second kind of reminds me of Chiang...
I'm back again with more Asian coins I need help identifying. Most importantly I need to figure out the country and denomination. Knowing the year...
We talked about this not too long ago here. I have started collecting them recently and I think they're very cool. There's a lot of different...
You make good points, Medoraman. I guess the lesson I would take away from it is that Krause is good to find the mintage numbers and get a general...
I think I've talked about this on here before with people, but I think the argument could be made that the eBay value is essentially the market...
It depends on the dates too of course. A British penny from 1964 isn't worth the same as one from 1864. On eBay though, look at the completed...
Thanks for the info. I've seen a lot of German coins like this, but not French.
Has anyone ever seen one of these before? It's about the size of an American penny and is aluminum. It says "Chambre de Commerce de Nice. Des...
Krause lists the 1897 Martinique 1 Franc at $16 in VG condition. You didn't say what condition yours was, but that's the lowest listed in the...
The first two are French 2 Francs issued by the German occupational (Vichy) government. They're not particularly valuable. 1958 Madagascar you...
That's the sort of thing I always look for in the junk bins. I'm hoping to go to check some out tomorrow. What is the first coin on the left in...
You have some great junk bin finds there. I almost exclusively buy from the junk bin and I buy most African coins I see, but the majority of what...
I think it's from Iran but I'm not positive.
Interesting. I was really surprised to find that it took so long for that country to get its own coinage.
As far as I can tell, the first New Zealand coins were made in 1933. So I was curious what they used for money there before then? Australian money?
I am trying to collect British coins, mostly through ebay, and I've never seen a 50 pence listed from 2002 or later. That seems kind of weird as I...
I don't want to scan them right now, but I have a 1 1/4 cent coin from Panama and a 12 1/2 cent from Venezuela. I think unusual denominations are...
This is how I do it. My typical search criteria goes like this: The country I'm searching for, price 0.01-$.4.00, U.S. only, sort by ending...
I got my 1921 Mercury dime the same way about a year ago. It shows that even though most people assume those junk silver bins are all picked over...
