I tried to rent a motorcycle once. They would only rent me a scooter. It had a top speed of maybe 30 mph or 35 going down a steep hill. It...
You know when you buy these coins and drill holes in them this decreases their value? Try to save the shavings, particularly for the gold...
Very Nice double Napoleon. I think a Napoleon was 20 francs? These typically come like this, unlike the Bonaparte 20 francs which come quite...
That has become my policy since losing the 3 Chilean Dos Bandaras. For the past 2 years I've been more agressive pricewise. My wife was very...
I know a famous Chilean numistmatist who has authored some books on the Colonial era. I really need to find some good reference books on Chile.
Unfortunately I am unacquainted with Thai coins. My Dad served in WW-II and he went to Thailand immediately after the war and had a high esteem...
I guess this means the 10 Pesos issued in the 1980's? I need to get a better reference book on Chile. I do much better with Argentina, as due to...
I am very interested in coins of Chile and always kick myself for not buying a decent "dos bandaras" 8E when I had the chance. I saw 3 of them in...
Hello All, I joined about a week ago and I collect the above areas (see title). My wife is from Latin America & perhaps that started my interest...
1787 Fugio -- Very nice. I take it that the Bank of NY hoard specimens are different in type than these? I've always been interested in 3...

As above: something is covering part of Liberty. If this is organic gum or old wax it can be removed with an organic solvent. If encrustation,...
Really a beautiful coin. As mentioned in another post I have an 1870, but in low grade. I've always drempt of a nice one, like this, but alas I...
Have an interesting story regarding a Hawian half dollar (1883). Many years ago I was buying a bunch of foreign silver from this old guy (an...
I'd guess ef-40. The wear seems a little rough to be in the Au's, not smooth wear. But I'm a foreign collector: not USA.
Thanks very much. A year ago I joined another numismatic BBS but I could never post with pix as I think they had a rule that one had to have some...
Actually I've liked Gallienus for several years. I think he got a raw deal in the few [one?] history that survived from that era. He was the son...
Hi & Thanks very much for your message. The Claudius II is quite nice in person and apparently quite rare: I've been helped by Dane aka...
