I wanted to share these coins that I got in the mail today. They're from Poland. I guess they're commemorative. I don't know the circumstances but...
I second this on the people mistaking coins for silver. I always see auctions for Mexican 5 and 5 centavos from the late 30s or 40s as silver,...
I'm kind of afraid to spend something like that because I'm worried it will cause a scene with some cashier who doesn't know what it is. Other...
Other things that just annoy me on eBay are people who describe every coin as "beautiful," "gorgeous," "stunning," etc., even if it looks like...

I've been looking for a 1975 Mexican 10 pesos coin for about 8 months or so and one never comes up for sale. Krause lists the value in VF as...
Thanks for the information and the advice.
