I did. They're horrible coins and greatly overpriced, but a dealer friend said he would take care of me if I ordered 10 each of them for him. He...
Bloody Nicholas. He earned the title for multiple reasons, dating all the way back to his coronation festivities when a stampede broke-out over...
Peter The Great [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I thought the same thing. Plus, the patina is consistent with other Chinese fakes, a sort of greasy blotchy mess haphazardly distributed across...
That, and the Katanga Cross coin. Far and away the coolest coin struck anywhere in 1961 and with a great story to go with it. Same coin in...
I like this last group far and away more than the others.
Great story. Thanks.
I actually know where that is, we passed right by it on our way to Friedrichshafen a couple years ago.
Anyone have a Saint Bridget of Ireland coin out there? Heck, I didn't even know she was from Ireland until the other day. [ATTACH]

Great design. You can tell he's a saint by the way he's holding his head. One of the fascinating things about Italian frescoes in Tuscany, was...
A few of the minors. Seems like these usually turn-up in nice condition. I wonder if any of them actually circulated. Somewhat similar to...
I've got 4 different dates. This the nicest. The others are MS62 and MS63 but with pretty luster and no ugly blotchy tone so common to the...
Why stop at breaking it out? Need to head to St. Petersburg and spend it in the subway! It's a neat coin, but there's dozens of other Russian...
Would love to have added a 1914-R Italy 5 Lire when they were still under 10 grand. Decent ones now trading for $15k and up. The 1911-R Italy 5...
Nice one!! Here's the 1917-R Lira. Probably the easiest GEM with this design to acquire, even super nice looking examples like this one are...
I dumped all of my less valuable Italian coins and spent most of the proceeds on this coin. Much better date than the 1931 issue. The rest was...
Earlier design, -- much tougher to find these in nice condition than those struck during the war. Up until 1912 they circulated freely. Once the...
The 1911 Italy 2 Lire with quadrigga reverse had a slightly different coin design, hence different KM number. The obverse legends had an inner...
