Here are some more coins I picked up during a recent trip to my local coin shop. I finally got a cartwheel 2 pence.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I just asked about this same item recently. It's a Galata Bridge token from Turkey, about 1913. 20 para is the value.
Here's one for the "it pays to look it up" file. I was about to list this 1943 J German 10 pfennig that I just got in a junk bin for sale on eBay...
Another group. A few I posted in another thread but these photos are more comprehensive. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

This is the first new addition to my bear coins collection in awhile. And the best part is, I didn't pay that much over the spot price. On the...
Some coins from Ecuador were made in Mexico, so it's not unusual. Many smaller countries don't make their own coins, or didn't at one time. The...

The grammar mistake makes me sad.
I wonder how he gets away with it. You can usually sell Cuban coins for awhile but they always catch up to you eventually. I've gotten several...
