That coin always remind me of Russia's Paul I ruble design, obviously stolen from the Dutch: [img]
This is my best guess, which is, some small company was founded in 1807 and this was probably minted after 1950s. Now one odd thing I googled...
I doubt if any of those are authentic. Those are commonly found in "tourists" sites and even so, those were supposely plentiful. There is no way...
Sorry that's not silver but nickel copper. That is indeed a coin from the Republic of China. That is only worth by face vault which is around...
Yes, PVC or the cheap plastic. PVC normally wouldn't do much damage under "usual" circumstances but when it breaks down, it releases chlorine,...
I personally don't think any of them are pretty "rare". I presume that one of your family members travelled overseas and hence they are lying...
I think there is a confusion that is going on right now. While MOST cleaning will ruin the values, you have to understand that it is the...
1 1 2 3 4 8 13 Fibonnacci 3.1415926 pi 1.6180339 phi function. Is this some kind of test? :desk:

Sorry, don't have such thalers. :( All I have is large silver rubles which you can see it at omnicoin. I am in a process of getting a Russian...
Wow, now that explains why prices of the liberty caps currently are at insane prices. J/k. :)
