Inflated shipping charges is one of the worst. And people keep bidding on their coins so they get away with it. I will not pay more than $4 for...
And one more thing on the subject of things that eBay sellers do that makes it hard to buy from them: There is one seller in Australia who has a...
The 1932 Brazil 1000 reis is one of the lowest mintages in the series at 56,000. Krause's prices are low in my opinion since when these come up...
It's a South Africa 1 penny. It's not silver and that's not its normal color. It's plated in something. With the hole it's not worth anything.
You could get a shave and a haircut in exchange for it!
It's silver, but it has a hole in it, so you won't be getting $199 for it. I'm guessing a few bucks. Still good, but no early retirement.
So for those of us who aren't into ancients, what is so terrible about that?
That's the seller that someone on here posted about doing a transaction with him offline and then he sent a different coin than the one advertised...
I don't have any like yours but this is the sort of thing I like. Coins from colonies are really interesting to me.
This is a good point. I have folders for Canadian coins, and there are several varieties based on the queen's "shoulder fold" for a few years in...
I can tell you the 1939 isn't. I have had one listed on eBay for about two months for a dollar and no one has bought it.

I agree there are times, especially with coins that don't use Western style letters and numbers, when it can be hard to tell one coin apart from...
I do own a KM (print copy), I just don't know what to do with the number. I just use the book's alphabetic and denominational system to search....
Yes, I've been collecting for years and I probably should know this, but I don't so I'm going to go ahead and ask. What do people do with the...
I do collect U.S. coins but haven't bought one in more than a year. I'm focusing completely on foreign now because the remaining U.S. coins I need...
A total guess, but for the top one, check out the Austrian coins from the 1700 and 1800s, maybe Austrian Netherlands? I have one that yours...
Kind of building on what Christian said, people who immigrate tend to be the ones who are most discontent with the place they are leaving, thus...
I had a college professor whose family was Ukrainian, and I made some comment that it was basically the same as Russian. She wasn't amused. If...
