Apparently this coin is from Martinique. I don't have books with me, but it could be a really nice find. Earlier coins from Caribbean islands are...
I'd look under French Indochina/Vietnam, but I don't know if that's what it is. The strange thing is that French francs of this era were silver,...
I hate when people use four staples. I like to write across the top and the fourth staple gets in the way. Three is fine. And I don't understand...
I'm pretty sure that one is silver but I don't have any references with me right now.
That doesn't look like any French franc I've ever seen. I'm wondering if it's either from one of the French colonies or some kind of token?
In my opinion the "don't touch" rule applies to a totally different type of coins than you generally find in value bins. Most value bin coins have...
While it is true that it is difficult or impossible to determine the true worth of something, all I need to know for my purposes is how much it...

I can't remember the exact details offhand, but there's a variety of the 1955 Mexican 5 centavo that is worth $55 in F according to Krause. I...

Do you ever kind of get mad when you look through value bins because some of the coins in them are priced way above their value? I do. I was just...
Realistically the Indian and Ceylon coins are the only ones worth anything. Even in really good shape there's not much of a market for modern...
I decided to just bite the bullet and pay the package rate, and then found out I actually can't buy the shipping on eBay. The reason is that the...
For the shillings several of the Scottish varieties are more collectible, but they will only fetch a few dollars. If you don't know the...
The Taiwan coin is also not silver. Don't buy those coins.
I appreciate the input from everyone, but is there anyone who knows specifics about the policies for shipping? Can I put the coins in a regular...
The second one is from Taiwan and it's super common. Not really worth anything. I don't think the first one is a coin, but it's hard to tell.
I see auctions all the time that say something like, "This has a book value of $40!" I don't see how those people get away with it if the OP got...
