I'm not defending the seller, but I will say the post office is inconsistent in what they allow. Sometimes it seems that it just depends on which...
Certainly not a coin. I wonder if it's supposed to be Genghis or Kublai Khan or something?
I love the old British penny. It's one of the first two coins that I really focused on when I got into foreign coins.
One thing that really interests me in coins is the opportunity to own something from the era and with the image of the most important figures in...
There's a really good book about this called "King Leopold's Ghost" that I would recommend if you are interested. I won't offer an opinion on...
I have several examples from different Caribbean Islands and I really like the way they look. I do feel a little like a sell-out by having them in...
Thanks! Yeah, I also ordered the silver proof set, but that hasn't arrived yet. I did want something specific for the baby though. It's too bad...

I realized I don't think I've ever seen a silver coin from Argentina. I'll have to look in Krause and see what's up with that.
I probably started collecting around 2010 or so. Most of what I have is from dealer's 25 cent bins or eBay purchases. It quickly grew on me, and...
Here are two more. I like the sun on the peso, and the 10 centavos shows how good it can look in really nice condition.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I feel like no one ever talks about coins from Argentina. I'm not saying they're the greatest out there, but some of the designs are notable in my...
I was thinking of separating my coins like the bear coins, turtle coins, elephant coins into their own place. Right now everything is sorted by...
The other two coins in this series that I bought came today. I love these coins. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
