Think you are missing a scan somewhere Hiddendragon. Dates ranging from 1994 to 2005 - there's a lot of commemorative coins in this area. I did...
Nice coin. This particular coin has literally disappeared from circulation. I think I have about 5 of those but not in such nice UNC condition -...
Sometimes it makes you wonder why folders made back in those days still look better than some of the modern packaging we get. I REALLY like them...
Palladium's all time high is not 800 dollars. During 2000, Ford blew a billion dollars on palladium due to supply concerns (during this time,...
I do own some palladium coins. The metal value just goes all over the place. World mints that struck palladium coins found them as a curse as the...
It doesn't matter whether it sticks to the magnet or not. The fact is that a) it doesn't exist in any catalog b) Design is extremely crude c)...
Forgot that I bought the two key bi-metal Russian coins a while ago before the prices of them went out of control. Mintage of both of them are at...
Take as much photos as you can prior to opening it. Of course make sure you have a lot of cushion just in case any nice coins roll out.

I have been hiding away doing a lot of things and this is one of them - I have been cataloging what coins I have in my collection. This is a...
What is the weight of the large cent? If it's siginificantly lower than the tolerance level, it has to be filed away. Can be done with the right...
Looks like it was cleaned at one stage.
Very great patterns everyone. Thanks for showing your collection. John Anthony - Tigran the Great did appear on a commemorative 14k gold coin in...
Not too sure if anyone collects pattern coins and I don't actively collect them. Turns out I bought a few along the way while I was hoarding all...
I didn't know that back in 1804, they had the technology to refine silver down to .999 purity. Not too sure about this but weren't coins measured...
The coin at the bottom is struck in a tin-zinc alloy, hence it sounds different from any other coins that you may have handled. All other metals...
I think it's a worrying trend. I suppose the coin must have looked so good that there was no obvious signs of them being counterfeits. I can see...
Yes, I know there's a lot of counterfeits when it comes to Chinese coins but this one is ok. It's a common 1 yuan coin with an interesting rotated...
It looks more like a lead-zinc alloy to me. Unlikely to be silver. I don't see how the Japanese needed to counterfeit such coins where they were...
You should have waited to see the seller's response. It could be a honest mistake by the seller and you did not allow him to correct his mistake....
