I got these two today and just wanted to share. The first is Bank of Upper Canada penny token. I have some half penny tokens but I think this is...
Sorry to interject, but could you explain that more? Why is a jeton or rechenpfennig not a coin? What is it?
I would assume to get coins like that you paid more than the average bulk world coin rate. If not, I'd be curious who you bought them from.
One thing I've noticed though is you need to make sure you know what you're buying, because I see a lot of world coins listed as being silver that...
I never would have even thought that such new coins would be counterfeited, so I'm glad you brought this to my attention. I recently purchased my...
You're definitely more likely to find silver deals in foreign coins because most people don't know what they're dealing with. Most silver buyers...
We don't know exactly what year it is, but almost every 1 peseta from that era is worth from 10 cents to a dollar in average condition. With a...
Can someone give me an idea of the prices for a silver 1 escalin 1767 from Austria Hungary? It's something I'm a potential customer for so I don't...

I was thinking of buying an 1842 Mexican 1 real coin, but I don't have a price guide for that period so I have no idea the ballpark value. I know...
If you think about it, even if the seller didn't search the rolls, the previous person probably did. It's unlikely that the rare date wheat...
They're using them to rack up frequent flier miles. Apparently you can buy the coins from the mint for face value and free shipping, get the...
Nice.
Yeah Hawkwing, Fox Valley Coins is where I go. It would probably be worth a trip for you and it's right off of Rt. 59. They have a lot of higher...
I picked this up today - it's a 2 centavos coin from a Colombian leper colony in 1921. Things like this are what I love about coin collecting....
The OP's experience sounds a lot like mine too, with a few key differences. The shop I go to is mostly buying and selling silver and gold because...
