Every once in awhile I go on eBay and browse the foreign currency just to see what's there, because the older notes are truly works of art. I've...
I don't know how I'd ever get pics that would be good enough to really see much.
That's a good point about them not circulating very long. I don't have the 57, but I did get the 56.
I have been trying to complete a set of large cents, 1816 to 1856, for under $15 each. (I'm just aiming for one of each year, not each variety). I...
This auction makes me laugh. They seem to think this is real....
You really don't need to smell them. You open the package and it wafts out pretty strongly.
I've noticed this too. You can tell right away when you open that package that the person who shipped it smokes. It goes away eventually but it is...
I've always avoided buying anything from overseas on eBay, but I am working on a set of British pennies and there were some I could only find in...

Two that I found that were unusual just for the location were both foreign. I found what if I remember correctly was one of those little coins...
I've wondered if it would be worth it to complain at the post office. I've probably failed to receive four orders over the last year out of more...
That sounds a lot like how this looked. You could see the dark scuffs on the envelope and the hole the size of the coin. Generally though I like...
Recently I've been trying to avoid spending a lot of money, but I still wanted to work on my coin collection, so I decided to buy some common half...
This is how I look at it too. I was bidding on large cents and just putting in my maximum bid right away instead of trying to jump in at the last...
There are a few monthly coin price guides/magazines out there. Are there any that are considered more reputable than others, or any that one...
Here's a good one. 1938 wheat penny for $10. And then he insults you. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/clt/2139968223.html And this guy has...
