It's too bad this is so close to the Chicago International Coin Fair. I took a day off of work for that and don't want to use another one so soon....
I think this sort of thing is one of the more interesting areas of coin collecting. I don't have a lot for any of those categories but have some...
What does the seller get out of it? He is losing like 80 cents on this transaction. It's not that hard to get feedback and still make money.
Book value is $15 in F, $35 in VF, $50 in XF and $80 in UNC. Realistically I'd say you'd get $15-$25 no matter the condition. I love these coins,...
My scanner doesn't deal well with the slab, but here is a blurry scan. It might not look like much but it's a key date. 1954 Mexico 5...
I suppose I can leave it for now and always open it later. I don't like having to keep it separate from the other coins though.
I purchased a coin that was in a slab despite the fact that it was in a slab, not because I wanted it that way. I am not a slab snob and am not...
All of the older British Honduras coins are pretty uncommon, and they sell for high prices on eBay (relatively). Even dates from the 1960s and...
Ever since I was a young child coins interested me for some reason, and I'd get really excited whenever I'd find anything unusual in my parents'...
I don't know for sure. It doesn't look like a proof set so I assume they are.
The silver pesos actually aren't that expensive, but they are hard to find. There's also a 1930 10 centavo with the same design. I have it but...
Yeah, there's an older coin with a similar design that I've posted before. It's one of my favorites. [ATTACH]
I got this set in the mail today. A nice set of modern animal coins from Uruguay.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I understand this problem. What I do is for the countries that I focus on, I print up lists either of the coins I have or the ones I need, and...
In any case it was a nice pickup for $1.50. I'm not a currency collector really but I buy notes that are cheap and catch my eye. I got about 8 or...
I'm someone who doesn't spend much on coins and what I like to do is look through value bins where everything is 50 cents or thereabouts (I...
Yes, I read the website. It's very interesting. I don't know much about Mongolia.
Thanks. So my guess was correct.
Here are three of my interesting pickups from the Chicago International Coin Fair today. I'll probably be sharing more as I get a chance. I love...
It has Cyrillic letters but an Asian looking man as the portrait. Best I could guess was Mongolia or some Soviet Asian territory, though I don't...
