tradernick - Look at the dates of the postmarks - they are all in the '70s. If they were Mint sets - why were they shipped from the S mint ?...
You are missing the point I am trying to make. You ever hear the saying " a fool and his money are soon parted " ? Or the one - " if it sounds too...
I have to agree with the previous comments regarding what the sets are and what the boxes likely contain. Now as to your question as to whether...
I'm taking no offense at all - at anything you say. I'm also not trying to shut down any conversation. When I said I wouldn't debate the issue...
Well I hate to tell but it's not a fantasy - it's a matter of fact. Cowrie shells were indeed once used as money. So were many other objects that...
Does that mean that the buyer bears no responsibility for giving his hard earned money for something that he knows absolutely nothing about ?...
Fiat money - just what does that mean ? It means a form of money with no intrinsic value to most people. But the very idea of money itself, since...
Hard to say for sure without seeing them. Is it possible for you to post a pic Georgia ? The reason I ask this is for a couple of reasons. #1...
Interesting responses - it goes both ways. Some folks hate ebay - others love it. I myself fall into the second category. I purchase coins...

And here is another that I do not ( unfortunately ) get to buy so often. See what ya think of this one Andy ;) [IMG] [IMG]
Ahhhhh - you have hit upon another design I truly enjoy - the Mermaid ;) Since everyone may not be familiar with this coin - I'll even post a...
Lemon juice = bad idea. Cleaning coins period is usually a bad idea. The only time a coin should be cleaned is if it is contaminated with a...
Before I write this post - let me say this. I have never in my life submitted even 1 coin to any grading company. I probably never will. I do buy...
Thanks National dealer - kind words indeed. Can I blush now :o The campaign for coinage redesign is far from over and I am nearly certain we...
The Austrian 1915 ducats are all restrikes. What that means is that they were struck in more recent years, many of them in the '60s, with the date...
Yes I know. Unfortunately my previous host's domain is no longer viable. I am working on rebuilding the site though and hope to have it back up...
Andy - While I do not collect the franc specifically, I do collect some French coins. Among them the French rooster, the angel, a few of the...
