Someone is selling a group of token commemorating Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin seizing Crimea. It's the gift for the numismatist who has...
Actually this is how I collect. I like to complete sets. For some areas I just buy coins I like, but for others I try to complete as much as I...
Because we're coin collectors and we like to classify things.
The details are nice but it is so ugly that I wouldn't want it in my collection. It sold for $23, by the way.
And not just that they got it graded, but such a high grade. How does that happen?
To me, what makes a coin attractive besides its overall design and historical significance is how it looks. I'd rather have a coin with an...

I agree, it's much easier to find what I'm interested in.
These are the only two I have. I love Mexican coins but haven't had the opportunity to really focus on these yet.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm pretty sure it's Thailand but I don't have any specifics. Edit: If you look at Fuang coins from the 19th century Thailand I think you'll find...
I've added Jamaica to the list of countries I'm collecting, since I always seem to add British territories eventually. They're not easy to find....
