Recently I bought a bunch of coins from a guy in Portugal. About a month went by and I didn't get anything, so I wrote to him and asked if he had...
And then you get home from work and find that little pink slip saying you need to pick it up the next day at the post office. How disappointing.
I only have these for Southern Rhodesia, though I have a few other combinations of Rhodesia. Incidentally, I believe the shilling is rather rare,...
All Mexican coins have snakes, and this one is no exception.[ATTACH]
I have that one too but yours is in better shape. Nice coin.

Yeah, the same seller had a few others in other colors. I figured it was too good to be true.
But it's not what it looks like, so that makes me not interested. If a coin has a date of 1830 and is really made 170 years later, that's no good...
Yeah, I couldn't find it in Krause either which is a problem.
Verily, twas purchased through the miracle of electronic commerce from a virtual shopkeep. I pray now that the courier does not suffer some...
