I have the same model here in my hand, bought some time ago (90s?). I don't know what you mean by retractable. The leads goes out when you push...
Wow. Thanks for posting they are now on my avoid list, and I've also heard they take forever to send peoples' orders. The story is pretty close to...
I once actually mistakenly did this with a book I wanted: I was naïve and stupid at the time, and called a number of rare booksellers to request...
Yes you are right, but I also use the standard retractable pencils. They are essential! What I have is a lot of Berol pencils. I just checked and...
This is provisional, but I think your Abbasid coin may be a coin of Al-Muqtadir (295-320 / 908-932). The letters on the coin are a little smushed,...
This turned up in another thread here. You can type in the name of the coin you have, and get some recent pictures and valuations. I tried it, and...
Sorry, I know this is way off topic, but this concerns me closely. I use pentel pencils for drawing, all different sizes, and I have boxes of the...

Okay I get it now :smile. I don't collect coins only bullion, but this site is certainly tempting me to branch out a little bit.
You mean you missed the ones in 2006, 2008, and 2009?!:rolling: Here is a list of past expected nuclear events in the silver market thanks to...
I agree with Slim Pickins here. Since the original poster seemed interested mainly in buying some bullion coins or bars, I would just get started...
You are most welcome. It is quite interesting for me to see all of these. Yes that is the one, Mohammed II ibn Tugluq. The book doesn't give any...
The coin I am talking about here is from post 17. It is the Indian one with the circle in it. It is a coin of Mohammed II ibn Tugluq (1324-1351)....
Sorry I was not clear enough: the coins I am talking about are all in the third group (from post number 19). The first is the Jaunpur coin, and...
It is hard to read at first, but then it makes sense if you have an idea of what you are looking for to begin with. The photos help too :). The...
