The robbery stats came from this site, which uses UN data from 2010: http://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/robery/ The assault info is a...
This may sound defensive, but it's really not. I love the UK and hate to see any of our British friends operating under misconceptions. So, to...

Merely posting on this site tells the world you have a coin collection, so that ship has already sailed. To each his own, of course, when it...
431 and counting. Mostly in the form of a US type set, world silver and British Empire collections. I don't pursue date series, so that keeps the...
I remember when counterfeiters weren't nearly as skilled as they are now.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing. Your collection is a great example of what makes world coins so fun.

So . . . Skynet?
No they're not, and no it wouldn't. A 300 dpi high-res image (minimum desired resolution for printing) can be scaled down to fit whatever space...

I see the same thing with world base metal coins — I'm continually surprised by the deals I can find on good quality XF to UNC coppers for my...
I'm just the opposite. I never buy more than one of a coin type, looking for the best example I can afford, then move on to the next type. I also...
FYI, virtually every graphics application — even one as simple and basic as "Preview" that comes loaded on my Macs — has a flip horizontal and...
Having been interested in world coins since childhood, I can speak with some experience in seconding what Chris says. The world is a big and...
My focus has been mainly in two areas: 1) Coins of the British Empire (Victoria thru E2) 2) World silver crowns and 1/2 crowns Lately I've been...
