This inspired me to do a little research on the "country" it is based on. What a strange story.
I sold a 1932 D in much better shape on eBay recently and only got 1 bid for $50. This seems to be one coin that sells for below the book value...
Thanks. I think the 500 Lire is 1966. I have gotten some more since I posted those. 20th century Italy is one of the sets I've been working on lately.
Paddy, you're a lot more ambitious than I am. I'll probably never own a graded coin. The only reason I'd ever buy one is to ensure authenticity...
I know this will sound strange to you MS-67 collectors out there, but sometimes coins are just too nice for me. Sure, I want to own a nice looking...
If you look at my profile I have an album of a sample of Italian coins that I have.
18th year of Victor Emmanuel's reign.
I really like the Danish coins from the late 1800s and early 1900s. I like the dolphins especially.

I just got home from the show. I felt like it was kind of a mixed bag. There were a few people I bought from who had value bins of decent coins to...
All the ones I know about have an actual letter.
Ebay doesn't allow a seller to restrict bidders with low feedback. You can block a bidder with a feedback rating of less than zero, but I don't...
Note that this happened April 10, and silver has gone down several dollars since then.
We know a lot more about Cuban coins than eBay does. They're not making any distinctions. Probably anything with the word "Cuba" is banned.
Well it's really more a matter of money than it is interest. I'd buy all the coins if I could, but most are outside my price range.
I'm also going Friday, though probably just a few hours. There are only a small percentage of people who sell the kinds of coins I'm interested...
Bummer. I remember that you went last year. Hope your wife is doing OK.
