The best method I've found is to get involved in something else, preferably something that does not cost money. I tend to go on eBay and browse...
Indeed I am, along with the early 1900s style. I'm at work or I'd upload a picture. I've been assembling a collection of these and while some of...
I really like the bronze coins from the late 1800s to the World War I period - the 5 and 10 centimes coins. I'm surprised no one posted any. I'm...
That seems pretty ridiculous. At the shop I go to they allow me to do my own thing as I look through the coins and even take my word for it when I...
It's Zimbabwe now and is near the bottom of most types of rankings of the nations, so you really have no reason to go there now either.

I have that one too but yours is in better shape. Nice coin.
Is that first one a button? Judging from the back which looks pretty buttonish to me. The second one might have to do with the Teutonic Knights,...
Thanks!
I plan to keep it. I always keep one copy of any coin and I sell any doubles I get. I was looking for this specific coin for my collection when I...
Thanks. It was very lucky because usually I don't even bother to search for rare coins because I figure I can't afford them, but I thought I'd...
I was sure someone else was going to notice this and bid it up. I sat for five anxious days waiting for the auction to end, but no one else ever bid.
I mentioned recently in the thread about cherry picking that I had found a hidden gem in an auction on eBay. I got the coins today, and here is...
Here's the coin from the 500th anniversary. Also one commemorating Vasco De Gama, who led the voyage.[ATTACH][ATTACH]
If you do a Google search for "Morocco coins" and look at the images, you can see there are a lot of different combinations of five and six stars,...
