Thanks for that link! The 5 centesimi from 1995 shown there is the coin I found in a dealer's junk bin. I'm sure the mintage for it had to be...
Also, does anyone know what the mintage was for the 1995 5c piece?
I recently found a coin that looked like a fantasy piece. On the obverse it shows Georgio I, ruler of the "Principe di Seborga". After some...
I hope I'm not duplicating anyone... 301 1200 -----1812----- (guessed before I found the post saying which numbers had already been guessed)...
I have a sterling silver ring that started to tone golden. Does that mean _I_ have a Midas Complex? :)
I agree - I wouldn't pay above spot for a Norfed dollar.
I received my Dillon Gage set today. Not slabbed, just in Mylar flips. They look like they will grade well (none of the dreaded milk spots that...

Were any of these minted in brass, bronze, or gold?
That's a nice gift. I remember when I could buy those all the time for 10-20 cents. Now, they've got >$2.25 in silver value alone!
I'm interested in getting one of the ATB copper-nickel bullion coins. What are the steps I need to take for the contest?

Tip jars. When the barristas aren't looking. (JK!)
And the Black Book (it's in the back of the red book and the front of the black book), although there are a few mintage number typos in my 2010...
I have been able to buy some lots on eBay for under melt. Many sellers who listed with "But It Now" have been buried by the rise in silver's spot...
