A few years ago I picked up an 1883 100 reis from Brazil, with a mintage of 2,700, for like $7. A little later I saw another one for sale and bid...
No, it was too rich for my blood. I wish I'd bid higher on the other one, but who knows how high that would have gone. I'll keep an eye out and...
Since we're showing our 1983 New Zealand dollars ...[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
If you look at sellers in New Zealand or Australia you can find the individual coins for sale pretty much all the time, but they always get too...
I've never cared much about the grade as long as it isn't beat to heck. The one I bid on today wasn't great and it sold for $81. The bottom book...
Interesting. I'm a big New Zealand collector too and I'm always appalled at the prices some of the modern set-only coins sell for. That's why I...

They ended up selling for $7.75 plus $3 shipping. I thought the half cent would be worth more than that even in this condition. I bid but didn't...
I also thought it would be strange to make fakes that don't look good, but people always say not to put anything past them.
I saw this auction ending soon. Plenty of warning signs - mislabeled, low price, says item is in U.S. but seller has very poor command of the...
Here are my half pennies.
Wikipedia says this, so maybe you have something after all: "The 1985 version of this coin is particularly rare, and valuable to coin collectors -...
Well, the Krause Catalog of World Coins seems to think it's common, with a mintage of 2.7 million. Maybe someone else will chime in who knows...
Well, I was all ready to say nothing, but then I looked and it's actually the lowest mintage in the series. Still, most likely less than a dollar.
