I guess I won't need to exchange any of my USD then. That's convenient. I'll still definitely pick up some local currency though. The more I...
Very nice. I've heard of the Panama Pill, might try to get one in a shop if I can find it. I have a few common Panama coins (50s-60s 10 and 25...
Nice collection! It wasn't until I started really collecting coins that I realized how truly massive the Commonwealth is. Big enough to be a...

I'd like to collect some nice Panamanian/Latin American coins while I'm there. I know the old Balboa coins, but I don't know anything about where...
I was just thinking of eBay when I came across this thread. I was doing some idle browsing for old Swiss coins, and I noticed that even the coins...
[ATTACH] Something totally unexpected - I went to a coin show today to the one guy I usually buy coins from. He typically doesn't have any...

Lucky you! So far I've only been able to buy a few silver Prussian coins (mostly Wilhelm II, who seems to be by far the most available, but also...
To everyone, thanks for your suggestions. I'm fascinated by ancient history (currently getting through Rubicon and the good bits of Herodotus'...
[ATTACH] I like these .720 pesos; they're fairly cheap and nice-looking. The 10% silver one is pretty interesting too if only for the design. I...
I just bought my first ancient coin, a denarius from the rule of Severus Alexander. It was pretty cheap for an ancient coin, I guess, but despite...
