Shipping coins to China or Africa? Not for me. I buy coins from China regularly, but just a few dealers I trust.
Btw, which shop? Christopher's, Stamps and Stuff, or someone else? My favorite dealer of all time was Ben Marlenee, but when the building his shop...
Yes, but you do know what I am saying. I can go to my sdb today and pull out 20 1942d VG WL halves. Every one might be "unique", but are worth...
It was a wise move economically, as the cost of defense was becoming overly burdensome to the Roman economy by this time. If the Roman empire...
I used to walk around with a 1942 WL half in my pocket. While not that coin, a 1942 WL half is what got me collecting coins to begin with. Makes...

Exactly, that what I was trying to say. Their market was a western one, and in that market this coin might have been more available. Not everyone...
I find you have to consider the times in which RIV was written. Iron curtain in place, (or earlier). We are used to eastern types the last 20...
