@Sullykerry2 - do you interact with Ginza Coins in Japanese or do they also have English services? I have been browsing their site for years (in...
I have not seen a single wheat in decades myself, although I also rarely see change at all anymore, unfortunately. But yes, I would definitely...
My favorites are split between Japanese and US coins. Here they come. These are still my favorite coins, Japanese Meiji (and Taisho for one year,...
I haven't even seen any Reiwa coins for sale yet. Most likely they will strike millions of them and the temporary insanity for them will drive...
The way things move these days it's impossible to tell. That farthing could have been back and forth between continents a dozen times for all we...
No one in my family gives much of a whoop for coins, or really any kind of antiques or collectibles. My teenage nephew has shown zero interest in...
A necropost, but a good one. :D This is one of the designs that originally lured me into coins years upon years ago... 1942-D Mercury graded...
Stories like the OP's make my innards fume. I am incredibly glad that the OP just left after that dealer's revolting actions. Of course, if that...
You could probably sell them to someone who doesn't know any better - there seems to be a lot of that going on in the hobby market today. :D
Oldest without a date: I'm not completely sure, but I think that this Roman Republic Clodius Turrinus qualifies as my oldest coin (maybe around 40...
Coins can tarnish in slabs and they are not generally considered to be air tight. I keep all of my slabs in Intercept boxes for this reason, but...

I actually do really prefer white coins to toned, but I don't need a(nother) sticker.
A type set is whatever you want it to be. Some of those coins on your list cost quite a bit of do-re-mi, but if you have the means, why not? That...
I have always wanted to visit Greenland, but so far everyone I've known in the flesh has had no interest whatsoever in going. What could top a...
Where did you find this information? I'm not at all doubting that it's true, I would just like to read the source(s) myself.
Yes, I would like to read that thesis as well, but I also understand why people may not want to distribute their work over the Internet. Can you...
My favorite coin - the Meiji-era Japanese Dragon Yen. NGC graded this one MS61. I now have 6 of these and I hadn't picked one up in a while. I saw...
These 1 Rin coins had a monetary value of only 1/1000th of a Yen. Not surprisingly, they measure only 15.75mm across (still slightly larger than a...
Another thing to consider is what would stop anyone with a 3D printer just printing one of these up on their own? Is there an advantage to buying...
