Is anyone else going to the Chicago International Coin Fair this weekend? I went last year and it was my first coin show experience. I'm looking...
Sounds like good pickups to me. The Russian coins are the best of the lot in my opinion, assuming the condition is decent. The Colombian 5 pesos...
This could be the worst looking coin I've ever seen. And of course the person selling it is asking (relatively) big money for it....
No, it wasn't flagged. That message pops up when you try to create a new listing.
This is my point too. People in Cuba and the Cuban government do not in any way benefit by people in the U.S. buying and selling obsolete Cuban...
This doesn't make sense for many reasons. The embargo has been in place since the 1960s - did eBay just learn about it? Also, it is meant to keep...
The coin I was listing was from 1920. It seems to just scan for the keyword "Cuba." I took all mentions of Cuba out and relisted in the general...
These are the countries on the eBay embargo list. I wonder if coins from the others are banned now? I don't have any to sell or I'd check. Burma...
I tried to relist a Cuban coin today and got this message: Listings for stamps, coins or paper money from Cuba are not permitted. eBay’s policy...
When you are looking at the French aluminum coins, be aware of mint marks. In general, anything with a B or C mintmark is harder to find than...
If it's like the typical dealer's 5 for a dollar box I would not recommend buying the whole thing. First off, what you should do depends on what...
Wasn't mine. I don't collect toned coins.
And that auction even has the ambiguity of the seller saying it's an 1890 in the description.
Thanks for the info. French coins get complicated in the World War II era.
I got this coin on eBay and I really thought I had something. It is a 1946 France 10 centimes. Krause lists one without a mintmark and just says...
That's why I like to visit a lot of different shops and keep coming back. You don't know what you'll find and you want to make sure to get it...
I'm wondering if anyone has used eBay's new global shipping program for coins? If so, how does it work and how do you like it? I was reading the...
I don't agree. Most coin dealers in the U.S. see foreign coins as junk that isn't worth their time, and most collectors are the same. I find...
Purchasing coins from Mexico can be risky. I've tried it twice. One showed up and one never arrived. The time it did show up, the person at the...
I'm working on the same set. I built most of mine from the junk bin at the local coin shop. There are a lot of people who moved from or travel to...
