I agree there are times, especially with coins that don't use Western style letters and numbers, when it can be hard to tell one coin apart from...
I do own a KM (print copy), I just don't know what to do with the number. I just use the book's alphabetic and denominational system to search....
Yes, I've been collecting for years and I probably should know this, but I don't so I'm going to go ahead and ask. What do people do with the...
I do collect U.S. coins but haven't bought one in more than a year. I'm focusing completely on foreign now because the remaining U.S. coins I need...

I sold a bunch of 1880s and 1890s British pennies on eBay recently and most fetch between $1 and $3 or so unless it's a scarcer date, and I don't...
