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'd never seen a Greek lepta like that, so I was glad to get it. And even if the Danish coin is common, I love getting something that old for such...
FYI, my antivirus program warns me against clicking on these photos.
I think a lot of people in the U.S. don't know what to do with foreign silver. When you see people buying silver, they always want U.S. coins...
Well, the two coins in question don't stick to a magnet, so hopefully that means they are silver. Silver has a certain look to it, and that's why...
Thanks for the help everyone!
Thanks for the help. I never would have IDed the Saudi Arabian one on my own. I was surprised to find the silver too, because that's the one thing...
I started a thread on here not too long ago for people to post odd shaped coins, because I think they're neat too. You might want to find that and...
