Looks like Mexican 5 centavos.
In my experience the Krause prices for more modern world coins tend to be far higher than they actually sell for. When I buy world coins I tend to...
Saudi Arabia 4 Ghirsh 1956
I don't have my reference material but I think the Egyptian date is 1958. I agree, I am not going through 110 pages of the new acquisition page.
I attended. I wrote about it in a separate post which you can find if you go back a few pages, but it was kind of a "meh" experience for me. I buy...
It's not incredibly weird, but I had a person email me twice two days apart complaining that I had not left them feedback for a coin they bought...
Much more useful than the Krause entry. I couldn't make any sense of that.
This inspired me to do a little research on the "country" it is based on. What a strange story.
I sold a 1932 D in much better shape on eBay recently and only got 1 bid for $50. This seems to be one coin that sells for below the book value...
Thanks. I think the 500 Lire is 1966. I have gotten some more since I posted those. 20th century Italy is one of the sets I've been working on lately.

I know this will sound strange to you MS-67 collectors out there, but sometimes coins are just too nice for me. Sure, I want to own a nice looking...
If you look at my profile I have an album of a sample of Italian coins that I have.
18th year of Victor Emmanuel's reign.

Thanks for the info. Does anyone else know more about the tokens? What is the Zanzibar coin listed under in Krause?
The first one here is 1790 from France. It's the size of a U.S. half dollar and I'm just wondering the denomination. The second and third are...
There are six coins that I picked up at the Chicago International Coin Fair that I can't ID. I'm hoping you all can help me out. One of these...
I didn't notice anyone selling just "junk" silver. Most people either had all their coins individually priced or they had some bins where every...
I just got home from the show. I felt like it was kind of a mixed bag. There were a few people I bought from who had value bins of decent coins to...
Separate names with a comma.
