OK, on topic, can you explain what tooling means? I looked at the picture and I can tell it's a bit off, but I'd like to know what exactly that means.
It will help balance out all the 5 cent coins I had to pay $3 for so I could complete a set.
The problem with the German coins that someone suggested is that if you like to really complete the set, that means getting all the mintmarks, and...
I'd say British pennies are a good entry coin to world coins. They are big, attractive, and the writing is in English. The level of difficulty...
Sometimes my scanner scans coins like that. He needs to photoshop that thing down to size.
Ahearn, that may be true, but the ones I'm talking about are probably not the ones that are very collectible. Just like the "uncleaned Roman...
It just occurred to me that the reason I am able to buy so many good world coins at my local dealer is that so few collectors are interested in...

I agree with BUncirculated's translation. You know, I think eBay has a new rule that if a person leaves negative feedback without contacting you,...
Yours is nicer than mine but that's still pretty good. When I was researching it, I looked up New Stockholm, which is written on the coin, and...
Mine only charges tax on items like 2x2s. It must be a different law by state. They clearly tell you that there's no tax on coins.
I got this coin from one of the more obscure auction sites. It was advertised as "foreign coin" and listed for $3. The photo was bad, but I could...
Thanks everyone. It's a nice set and I have a thing for animal coins. There are a few higher denomination coins in the series, but they have...
