I got started seriously buying world coins when the price of silver started shooting up and I could no longer afford the U.S. coins I needed for...
Chervonets is one I've bought from a few times. Some things are really cheap but other things are overpriced. My big problem with him is at least...
I like yours too, Siberian Man. I really like older Portuguese coins. I've been picking them up when I see them and will probably focus more on...
I tried that before and didn't get any bites. I'm willing to pay a few dollars for coins that are common for the convenience factor. I was just...
It was about $7.50. It was one of those situations where I was just browsing the auctions about to end right before bedtime and that one was there...
I'd be interested in recommendations for someone who sells world coins at affordable prices (a few dollars for low-end coins). I'd like somewhere...
I wanted to share this coin that I just got today. It's a 20 reis coin from 1865 from the Azores. It's about the size of a half dollar and is...
I agree it's creepy how the seller is overemphasizing the Nazi aspect. He has the SS symbol on there twice. He seems to be appealing to neo-Nazis....
I'm working on a complete set of non-silver Irish coins from 1928 to 2000. In most denominations I only need 1-3 coins, but they aren't listed on...
I was watching a British 1927 6 pence a few days ago and it sold for $27. I looked it up in Krause and it's not a rare or valuable coin, listed at...
That's an interesting theory about the bidding being higher for sellers who ship internationally. I don't think there's any way to see what...
I see some ridiculous buy it now prices though. If they are good prices, people buy them. The ones that sit there for months are the overpriced ones.
It seems like every coin I've been watching on eBay lately has gotten to some ridiculous bid. Here's a good example: 1930 Greek 20 drachmai:...
The problem you describe is something I've only noticed in recent weeks. There are a few people I don't remember posting before who are everywhere...
Actually my Krause says the 1869 half penny has a mintage of 3.25 million, so the value seems excessive. 1868 has 3 million and is valued at...
I saw it ended up selling for $22.50, to a different person than the one who outbid me. I agree that the mintage seems high for the price Krause...
I was watching this coin for a few days, and finally with less than an hour left I bid on it. It was sitting at $3.80, and I bid $15.50, and I was...
Realistically, Americans don't like to use change, and more and more people don't even like to use cash. How many of us know those smug people who...
I agree that when you start it helps to list a lot of low value coins and offer combined shipping. People are always looking to bundle. Shipping...
Here's an interesting article from Time magazine. Apparently North Korea has the same kind of printing presses as the U.S. mint and routinely...
