Thanks for the help. I never would have IDed the Saudi Arabian one on my own. I was surprised to find the silver too, because that's the one thing...
I started a thread on here not too long ago for people to post odd shaped coins, because I think they're neat too. You might want to find that and...
Is there any way other than weight? I don't own a scale.
I could use some assistance IDing these three coins. The first is Chinese, but is smaller than the other coins of this type I've seen. It's about...
I like that idea. I do a lot of things that a lot of collectors on this board wouldn't understand, like I save every bicentennial quarter I find,...
Apparently there are three types of dime for 1968 in Canada - 90 percent silver, 50 percent silver and non-silver. I have a few that I think are...
In this group I have a silver 1870 Spanish peseta, an unknown Arabic looking coin I'd like some help identifying that I thought might be silver,...

Over the last month I started selling my duplicate coins on eBay. They're not high value coins and I'm not getting a lot for them, but it gets rid...
I've been focusing on world coins lately as a way to get around the silver trap. I think there's enough out there to keep me busy, but I still...
I agree with you. Personally I have never been able to understand the people who handle their coins with gloves and debate if it's MS-64 or MS-65....
Thanks, that helps a lot.
Thanks! That will make my eBay experience much better!
I agree with both of you 100 percent. Many people would consider me one of those "young collectors" (I'm 31 and have been seriously collecting for...
I know it's beating a dead horse but it just gets so annoying when I am trying to buy coins on a budget and I see everyone trying to charge these...
