I thought that was the case too, but since Poland's borders have changed a lot I thought it may have been different in the past.
Thanks for the info. I had a feeling it was Russian and it looked an awful lot like a 1916 Russian coin someone else posted recently. It seems...
I'm hoping someone can tell me something about this coin. The seller said it was Polish, but I don't think Poland was even an independent nation...
It depends what you are selling. Anything silver will sell, but common coins might not if there isn't a high demand or if a lot of other people...
A lot of people won't bid on auctions with bad photos or when the seller has little feedback. Since I buy low value stuff I don't let that stop me...
I just looked up the price and not at the picture. It doesn't help to have references when you don't use them right. I'll know for the future. I...
I emailed them and they said to send it back for a refund. I knew I was taking a risk on this but I thought it was acceptable given the potential...
Well, I got the coin today, and I lost my gamble. It is a 5 rappen, not a 5 franc as they claimed, so it is not silver. I emailed the seller and...
I won this auction a few days ago. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290596311984&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT As you can see, the...
Just like some people can't pass a stray cat without trying to rescue it, some coin collectors can't pass up a hard luck coin with potential. If I...
Here's a link to a thread I started a few days ago. As you can see from the picture, this coin needs to be cleaned....
Thanks for the tip, Skippy. I went on there and placed a bid. I hate to pay $3 to ship it, but I've been looking for this so long that I'm getting...
Thanks to both of you for the help. I thought the Japanese coin was silver which is why I bought it. For 25 cents that's pretty good.
I need some help identifying these two coins I just picked up. The first I think is Japanese. The second looks Islamic (Turkish?) and I think it's...
thanks for the instructions. It sounds like it might be more trouble than its worth, but I'll check it out eventually.
Thanks. I'll have to try that. I don't know what it is covered with.
Where could I get that?
Most of us know that you should never clean coins. But looking at the picture I posted, I think most of us can agree this is a time when it's the...
You know, I've never been to a coin show. I know I should go sometime, but the first time is always the hardest to psych yourself up for going.
Thanks. I was thinking of listing in the new classified section here on CT in a few days because I need several coins that are low value but I...
