I think buying world coins in the U.S. is a great deal, but it all depends on where you buy them and sell them. Ninety percent of U.S. dealers see...
Nice. I love Portuguese coins, and I agree that their role in early exploration is sadly overlooked today. I read a book on their exploration and...
Nice. I've been thinking of paying more attention to my Canadian collection. I collected most of the modern coins but still need most of the...
Thanks. I think most of these, even if they catalogue at melt value, are hard to find for melt on eBay, plus you factor in shipping, so I'm happy...
I've been going there for years and this was the first time I thought to ask about foreign silver. Usually I just go through the 25 cents each...
I can't find any that sold recently, but I'd say $20-$30 range.

The eBay ban is a whole different can of worms. You used to be able to buy coins from Cuba, North Korea, Sudan and other embargoed countries, but...
The only Iranian coins I have are from the 1960s and 70s, so that's what I'm basing my opinion on. I can't speak for older coins from there. I...
I have one or two, but like the example shown above by sonlarson, they seem to be made for Western collectors. I don't know what they use for...
That brings up why I started collecting Greek coins. Most of them have classical designs on them, some that are copies of ancient coins. It's a...
One that comes to mind is Iran. I just don't find the coins I've seen to be very interesting. There are other countries where I like the coins...
