They're listed in Krause and I was trying to compile complete sets from both countries and have never been able to find those. The two Greek ones...
There seem to be a ton of Mexican coins like that. They're kind of neat but they must have had pretty bad quality control.
I've been looking for years for a 1986 Mexican 20 pesos and a 1992 Mexican 500 pesos. Never seen one for sale. Krause lists each at a few dollars,...
You can find mention in the third paragraph here: http://www.britroyals.com/kings.asp?id=george1 And here:...
I read a book not too long ago that mentioned that King George I (I think it was the first George) had two mistresses who were nicknamed the...
Thanks for the info. I always wondered what that symbol was. I have a lot of West African coins but this is the first essai. I had trouble...
I'd guess it's 1806 because that date seems really common. I agree though it's awesome to own something with George III on it just because of his...
I recently picked this up. As usual with coins with nice surfaces, the scanner doesn't do it justice, but I think it's a neat coin. It's an essai...
I knew that eBay and Paypal banned these coins but I've never seen an email like this. I think you are ok as long as you don't use the word "Cuba"...
I don't have pictures of everything. I'd love to share my collections but I don't see when I'm going to have time to scan hundreds of coins....
What irritates me that people do is they'll list a British Empire coin on eBay without identifying it and they only post a photo of one side of...
Australian proof sets can get pretty expensive. I have several because I am trying to assemble a complete Australian collection and there are...
I've always thought of the picture of the queen or ruler as the back of a coin. All of my coins go in 2x2s with the ruler on the reverse and the...
I'm curious about the coins that came in the envelope in the original post. I know they're from Myanmar, but what year are they? I haven't seen...
I've had about the same loss rate with international orders as domestic orders. Maybe don't buy from Kyrgyzstan or somewhere like that, but most...
I find that I have to give the junk bin a few months to replenish once I've gone through it. I suppose it depends how busy the coin shop is though.
I save the stamps but not the envelopes. It kind of got me into stamp collecting again because I didn't even have to buy the stamps, they just...
Agreed. I haven't bought bulk since I was first getting started and had no idea what was out there. I cherry pick from local dealers' junk bins....
This is a good point too. If you watch a lot of eBay auctions you can learn which coins don't match up well at all with their book price and you...
Nice. I've always liked the three-legged Isle of Man symbol.
