I'm good at being patient when it's a coin that comes up for sale fairly often. I still need some New Zealand florins and half crowns for my...
Four things in my favor about this: The auction ended at 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning, the seller didn't ship to a lot of places, he didn't accept...
I just won a coin I've been seeking for a long time at a great price. The 1935 Brazilian 500 reis has a mintage of only 14,000. The last time I...
I never get anything and I use eBay all the time. I think that's the problem. I'm guessing they send these to people who aren't buying much to try...
Now that I know what it is, I actually have a similar one myself.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
If you check all of the usual suspects in the Middle East and don't find it, check the Indian states. Sometimes their coins look Middle Eastern.
If it helps it says 20 on one side. I think that's the denomination. It doesn't look like the common Middle Eastern countries you see. It's not...
I don't have too many of the post-1940 coins but in general I think they have some nice designs. I also feel like Brazilian coins are a smart...
Spirityoda, it looks like you have entered a Brazil phase. I've been working on collecting the reis coins for a few years now, but some of the...
What's worse is when those coins you've been waiting for forever finally come up for sale and there are a few people who bid it up to five times...
That's cool that you are a member of this site. Your film sounds interesting. I'm not really a currency collector but I have always found 2 dollar...
I apologize if someone posted this already, but I saw this news story about someone making a documentary about the $2 bill and wanted to share it....
I feel like if you go on the third day anything good will be gone. I went on the last day last year and half the dealers were packing up to leave...
It's too bad this is so close to the Chicago International Coin Fair. I took a day off of work for that and don't want to use another one so soon....
I think this sort of thing is one of the more interesting areas of coin collecting. I don't have a lot for any of those categories but have some...
What does the seller get out of it? He is losing like 80 cents on this transaction. It's not that hard to get feedback and still make money.
Book value is $15 in F, $35 in VF, $50 in XF and $80 in UNC. Realistically I'd say you'd get $15-$25 no matter the condition. I love these coins,...
My scanner doesn't deal well with the slab, but here is a blurry scan. It might not look like much but it's a key date. 1954 Mexico 5...
I suppose I can leave it for now and always open it later. I don't like having to keep it separate from the other coins though.
I purchased a coin that was in a slab despite the fact that it was in a slab, not because I wanted it that way. I am not a slab snob and am not...
