As you have already found out, modern 70's bsowa1088 are a hot topic. You will likely find multiple answers and justification to your question. I...
Very nice provincial. I have a few river god scenes, and have half thought of collecting them. I knew the second I saw the reverse that if...
I would like to see too. The only reference I can find is the Japanese Dealers listing, as item 108 under Imported Coins. I believe that is...
Fair enough sir. You actually bring up an interesting point, (well you always do but this one may be somewhat unintentional). I know a lot of...
Good to know sir. I know it is somewhat abbreviated, but its a nice book to start on for most aspects of US numismatics. I agree any specialist...
Good to know sir thank you. I am surprised, since i have some Japanese copies of Chinese coins and they are actually higher quality than the...

Or if you wanted a reference for these and most other US coins, Breen's 1988 book is a good starter for most areas. These can be tougher to locate...
I would be afraid some kid found coins their parents had put aside. Either way, great finds. Want to hear something sad? My aunt was not a...
It very well could sir. This is why I have always thought it was in Ebay's best interest to forbid pre-order auctions and only allow auctions of...
