I recently picked up 167 holed Islamic coins (apparently Ottoman / Persian) & am trying to teach myself a bit about the series by ID'ing as many...
I was surprised by how much some of these brought in a recent Heritage auction. From a resale perspective, I think you'll lose money on anything...
I've ordered rolls from BoA before. But, I'm pretty sure all they do is pass back and forth a few dozen rolls between branches to cover the roll...
I've seen that in a small and large 3 variety... I think that one is a small 3, which would be worth between $20 & $30. The large 3 seems to be...
Yep, modern repro. Here's an interesting perspective on why these are more than a little bit objectionable......
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
A not-too-similar coin was tentatively ID'ed as a fake that had been made for jewelry:...
I found this in a dealer junk bin & know that it could easily be a jeton or fake piece made for jewelry. There appears to be a toughra on one side...

There are a _lot_ of fantasy pieces, but I found at least 2 in the Standard Catalog of US Tokens (both SFW):...
Btw, I've finished putting together another presentation for my local coin club on this topic: "Dirty Money - Raunchy Spintriae, Brass Checks,...
Here's a link to "Is that a Spintria in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?" http://www.scribd.com/doc/51228927/Spintriae Brass checks are...
He was an investigative reporter. I think you misunderstand what the book was about.
Actually, Sinclair never sought a copyright on the work, so that it would spread more quickly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brass_Check...
Btw, if you want to read some very well researched (historical fictional) novels set largely during the inter-war years in Germany, I highly...
