I really don't think it's theft. Looking at the envelope I don't see how it could have been removed deliberately. Often when it happens you can...
I've never had to open a case over it. I always work it out through the message system. There's no reason to go to the authorities unless the...
The first thing I do is email the seller, tell them what happened and see what they say. Generally they give a refund. As for shipping it, a lot...
Thanks. Of course I don't brag about the coins I pay too much for. :)
I'm getting sick of receiving empty envelopes in the mail because the person who shipped it didn't know how to package their coin. It happened...
I got this one in the mail today. 1972 Bahamas 5 dollars. Besides being beautiful, it was really a steal. It is more than an ounce of silver, but...

That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.
So why is this a forgery as opposed to a token? There are a slew of British tokens from this time period and I haven't heard them referred to as...
I can only imagine what the selection might be like in Europe. I don't think I'd be able to get them home on the plane though. I wouldn't be able...
I was a history major too and that's the major reason why I am interested in world coins. It's a physical tie to all these historical events and...
Nice job. You're lucky that your local coin shop has such great selection. When I first started searching the value bins I was finding things like...
I'm guessing it's from one of the Indian states. From the colonial era, there were the British India coins and then a bunch of independent...
I think the old Chile coins are a beautiful design. I was very surprised though when I bought a group of them on eBay and tried to sell my doubles...
