If you had a nice, deep struck through foreign object error coin, you would smile too! :D
I'm very glad that this can still happen. It's been about 20 years for me.
I completely agree that this appears to be the current reality, but this is one reason that my interest in this hobby has waned drastically. We're...
I use Libre Office, which is completely free and has pretty much everything that I need from Excel. In other words, it's close enough. You can...
The Heisei coins arrived, so these, along with the earlier posted Reiwa (令和元年) coins, complete the two Japanese coin sets for 2019. The Heisei...
One at least has a chance of getting something back with coins and metal. How long that will remain the case is anyone's guess, but it's still...
The future of the coin market, especially 100 years from now, doesn't matter and it has very little to do with any of us in the here and now....
A 90% return is pretty good considering other things people buy. How much could you get for selling a tv? Or common books? Or common CDs or LPs?...

はい、日本語はとても難しいですね。 I don't even know how long it took me to get to that level. It's the most difficult language I've ever taken on.
I just realized that I also ordered the JNDA from ArrowTokyo - I'll have to keep that seller in mind for future reference, I've bought 4 - 5 JNDAs...
The only thing I could find on a quick internet search, including in Japanese, was that none were manufactured that year. I haven't been able to...
As far as pure aesthetics go, for me it's always a tossup between the Mexican Caballito and the Japanese Meiji Dragons. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Assuming that real fraud exists, you're probably doing all that you feasibly can by posting this thread on a forum filled with potential coin...
I really hope that they come up with a decent design for this one, because it's a pretty significant event and should get more press. Although it...
