I believe I just picked up a $50 coin in a $2 lot, but I have to wait until it arrives to make sure it is what I think it is. I'll post it if I...
The seller was only asking $10 which was low enough for me to be interested, but if it was made in 2008 then it's not something I want. It's like...
Someone is selling this and saying it is a pattern. I'm wondering if it's a real coin or some sort of token.[ATTACH]
Looks to me like it was made as jewelry. That connection for a chain looks from the photos like an original part of the item, not something added...
There's one elephant coin I am aware of that I still want to get and that's the 1815 Ceylon 1 or 2 stiver. They always go for more than I want to...
That's my definition of a good way to spend an afternoon. In world coins a little bit of knowledge can get you a long way in the dealer's bulk...
That's very nice. A few months ago I started a thread of elephant coins. I can dig it up for you if you didn't see it then.
I get them as big as I can because I have my coins organized by country, and several of them occupy an entire book by themselves. I want to get as...
Thanks for all the info. I had no idea there were so many examples of this type of currency.
Foreign paper money I'm interested in has always just been something with a picture that I like, so it's not really any one theme. I like history,...
I've seen a lot of different German notgeld notes from the World War I period, and they often have neat designs and don't seem to cost much. I'm...
They are nice coins but the values you quote are not realistic. You don't have a coin there that you could sell for more than a dollar online. I...
I had room for a second major and I did it just because I liked it. I didn't plan to get a job with it and it really has nothing to do with what I...
Well, I have a degree in history and I read dozens of history books a year about subjects and places all over the map, and you talk about...
You have very eclectic interests, but I respect that you know so much about subjects that the vast majority of people aren't even aware of.
I agree on the Ottoman, but I'm having trouble finding an exact match. With these coins, there is always a main date, which is the year the ruler...
I have a few others like that that I need for other series I'm working on. 1935 New Zealand 3 pence, 1946 Australia 1 penny, 1925 Australia 1...
Thanks. I'll bet most countries have some modern coins with no real book value that are extremely hard to find, especially those countries that...
I also collect baseball cards, stamps and bobbleheads. I also am always looking for fossils. I love history so I am prone to saving anything old.
Thanks for doing that. I'm not sure if I checked that site, but usually coins like these don't show up on people's radars as being "rare." It's...
