Did anyone else receive a request to take an online survey from the Department of the Treasury? I received one in the mail and just completed the...
They match the entry in the JNDA (the Catalog of Japanese Coins and Bank Notes, an all Japanese guide) for a Japanese Occupied Territories coin...
I think it's more impressive that you've posted over 23,000 messages. That's a lot of typing.
I wish the US would remove every historic person from currency and coinage and find something else to display. There are very few historical...
As long as currency changes are tied to acts of congress in the US, change will remain either slow or nonexistent. Canada doesn't have this...
It is Meiji year 6, 明治六年, so, as said, 1873. There does appear to be a rare variety in that year, but otherwise it's pretty standard mintage and...

You need to learn to use the internet and a book together. I replaced a book form dictionary with the internet a while ago. Then you can do...
1988!?!?!? Wow... I also only have a Whitman folder photo shot to share... I'm pretty sure that these went into this book in 1988... and they're...
Unless one reads the equivalent of an entire book on the internet (which can cause headaches), the internet will never be able to match the depth...
I've said it a few times here: the hobby will be in trouble when the old guys stop showing up, which is apparently happening to sports cards. As...
A perfectly innocent 2019 500 Yen piece (not a Reiwa) gets subjected to a entire series of chemicals and scrubs, apparently to give it a mirror...
And here I thought this would be a thread on Japanese coins... :shifty: いいえ。。。ここは日本のコインがありません。:D
I write a lot of Amazon reviews (mostly for my own purpose so I can remember five years from now what a book was about) and they removed the...
I have yet to personally meet a single person in my everyday life who has an interest in coins, collecting, numismatics or anything. I have of...
