You did good. I'm a dedicated foreign coin collector and I've never seen that Sardinia coin. Every one I see for sale on eBay is over $50 and then...
Someone else on here posted this one recently and I liked it so I got my own. It's a halfpenny token from Walthamstow, Sussex in the UK. [ATTACH]
I'm 99% sure it's not a coin. You are correct on the year. I would have said a temple token except the Arabic numerals.
That's interesting. Looking at this one, the only thing I can figure that maybe would trigger it is the word "silver" but it seems like I've...
Last night I was about to buy a coin from a seller in Canada and just before I hit "Pay" I noticed a 10% sales tax applied. My state, Illinois,...

I never heard of such a thing and Google isn't telling me a lot. Can anyone tell me a little more about these?
I thought this was a 1771 British half penny but then I noticed what looks like "Isles" on one side, and that was weird so I Googled 1771 British...
Being a college student must pay better than when I was in school.
It's funny the people who visit a coin shop daily like it's their local bar and just want to chat.
There was one dealer at the last show I was at who had a box of unpriced coins. A sign said "Tell us what it's worth to you." I didn't even look...
Thanks. The one on that site is better quality though it does say different examples were made.
Long story short, this was among things that my wife got from her grandmother. It appears to be a medal commemorating the marriage of Napoleon to...
