I had to share this with someone. There's so much wrong with this listing. He refers to them as "silver Mexican Pacos." Of course he means pesos,...
I have to go to a wedding this weekend, but if it's every month then it sounds like something I might want to check out. I actually am almost...
Here's an example of one. They come up for sale fairly often but they always sell higher than I want to pay. I'm sure it's all silver buyers...
Thanks. And I didn't mean to get your discussion off track. I like the coin. It kind of reminds me of this Greek 30 drachmai I've been trying to...
I've never been to a coin show but I live in that area. I'm intrigued. I wish it was open longer on Sunday though. It's only three hours.
Hey, congrats on your engagement also! Personally I'm expecting my coin buying to go way down. Contrary to the stereotypes, my fiancee never buys...
Is it silver? I'm working on an Irish collection (among many others) but some of the silver coins and the farthings are on the back burner.
Thank you both. And yes, it's not a coincidence that I am trying to get a lot of coins before my nuptuals. I know when I have a second person...
And if I'd had more time to think about it maybe I would have bid $30, but I opened the listing with 45 seconds left and I was too afraid there...
You're right, Gary, looking for the bargains is part of the fun. As much as I enjoy finishing a set, it is also important to have something else...
This Brazil 100 reis may look unremarkable, but it has a mintage of only 2,700. And somehow I think I paid about $8 for it.
In theory, would I be happy to get a coin for half price? Of course. In reality, no matter how much something is worth, I can only afford to spend...
In my opinion it only makes sense as someone buying something to try to get the best deal you can. The seller could have started the listing with...
Another thing I was thinking was that there was a higher bid and the seller cancelled it because he didn't like something about the bidder.
Here's the listing if you're curious. And another strange thing I didn't mention is that I swear this coin wasn't there at first. I did the...
My local coin shop must have purchased a big group of those French West Africa coins, because I started seeing a lot of them in their foreign bin,...
I'm going to be kicking myself over this one for awhile. I was doing my usual eBay search this morning, world coins under $5 ending soonest, and...
Here's another one that fits with your French colonial theme. One of my favorite coins of all the ones I have.
Scanning the coins takes so long though ...
Yeah, you're probably right. I can't see the flag well enough to see what it is but that would make more sense.
