In Illinois we don't pay sales tax on coins. If I go to the local coin shop I only pay sales tax on supplies if I buy them.
It's a 1/2 piastre coin from the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea. I see them fairly often so I don't think it's worth much.
Maybe people just want it as a curiousity? I've seen people selling acknowledged reproductions of rare coins on eBay. I always wondered personally...
Like some others on this forum, I have made a habit of checking the automatic change counter's return tray whenever I visit the grocery store just...
There's not a lot of sub-forums on here so I'm guessing they don't think there is enough interest to support enough discussion by itself. First if...
You can definitely find some deals on poorly described bulk listings. I think these sellers do themselves a disservice when they lump stuff...
No one has mentioned this yet, but eBay changed their pricing in April so that there's no fee for listing the first 50 items a month, so unless...
Wow, that's a lot better than I expected. I paid 20 cents for it and I'm lucky I noticed it because I don't usually look at tokens when I come...
I didn't think it looked especially old but one thing that does argue for it being older is that it's worth 5 cents, and that doesn't buy much...
I picked up this token today since I'd never seen something like this before. One side says "Iceland Base Exchange" and the other says "Trade...
Here's a good example of a gouger: $7 to ship one coin, and if you want insurance it's $12 more. Someone actually bid on it, probably because with...
I think at least 75 percent of eBay sellers charge way too much for shipping and it's one of my biggest recurring complaints, but that being said...

Here's a Mexico 200 Pesos from 1986 apparently celebrating the World Cup.
This seller repeatedly identifies these as Mexican coins, even though they say "Republica de Chile" in huge letters which is clearly visible in...
To be fair, just because he might not need that knowledge for his job doesn't mean he doesn't have it. Many of us have a lot of knowledge we don't...
Actually one of my co-workers was telling me about a friend of hers who just visited the American Pickers store a few weeks ago. He said one of...
I got a coin just like this today - same year, similar condition - at my local coin shop for 25 cents out of the value bin. Just sayin.
Unfortunately they don't always work out this way. A few weeks back I sold, individually, about 20 Mercury dimes on eBay. Some went for 4-5...
I've wondered about that too, but I've bid on a lot of other low silver content coins in the last few weeks, like British 3 pence and Mexican 1...
