This is probably my favorite from WWII. 5 Francs Marianne, from French Somaliland (currently Djibouti) in Africa. French Somaliland was a Vichy...
It's not really the changes in image size from the camera that's relevant though; it's the size of people's web browsers. Those haven't changed...
There are a whole pile of horses in the Elgin collection at the British Museum; I've been privileged to see them. This is a "loose" one on a...
I know nothing other than Google, but "car of night" appears to be a phrase related to the travel of the sun across the skies, and that horse (if...
I'm not sure I saw a reply on one of your questions. The "macro" setting on your camera is typically just an automatic setting that prioritizes a...
As a memory of your father, I'm sure those are valuable. But in terms of resale, they have a catalog value of $3 in UNC shape, and that's a retail...
Did not know that!
Separate your thoughts of the grade versus the value. Grade is (in this case) based on PMG's standard as written, and talks about the quality of...

It is cut from a sheet, sorry. http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/uncut.html
I could be accused of going to far, but this is my setup. Coins in intercept box, box in rubbermaid container, dessicant and sacraficial cents in...
I possibly mis-understood the OP's question then.
The French catalogs call the 1907-1914 ones the original, and state that there were restrikes of them made in 1921 and from 1951-1960.
That's not correct, to my knowledge. All the 1907-1914 strikes, whether original or restrike in 1921 or 1951-1960 have the "Liberte Egalite...
Traci I wonder if the writing "Double dot etc?" was intended by your father as a reminder to himself of why he saved these rolls. Ie, so he could...
Take a look at Denly's for Mylar sleeves that are open only on one side. Typically I put mine through a paper cutter to make them just a bit...
Separate names with a comma.
