I would have loved to have had a pocketful of those coins :)
Here's a 1970 10-markaa coin from Finland that ended up being an impulse purchase because of the rather unusual design, and it was being sold at...
The coin is so badly damaged that if it is real, its value is only a function of its silver content.
I'm not making any predictions-- I'll just say that this is the first time the Cards have made it to the Series in an odd-numbered decade since...
Here's a nice streak of green for you
We have credit cards so we can feel richer than we actually are, and buy junk that we wouldn't if we were just using cash.
Well, I had to do some research on that to clear my mind up. It looks like even though the original 1953 portrait had been replaced with the tiara...
More like "Copper? Brass? Copper-nickel? Aluminum???" LOL

And here is an impaired 1963 proof Washington quarter
Here is a Japanese proof 50-yen coin that somehow escaped from its plastic case and ended up circulating for a little bit before being added to my...
Louisiana quarter late stage die cap error, found in a bag of foreign coins
I think there's a good chance that that oily substance might be very old olive oil. Back in the '60s, at least, some collectors believed that...
Funny thing, some of my grandfather's stocks, like Munsingwear, have gone out of existence in the past 30 years, yet if I had left that British...
1915 $10 Indian
Personally, since I will never be able to own the real thing, I would rather have this than a photo (note: This is a faithful reproduction of a...
I've heard some horror stories about Philly since the '70s (including the famous firebombing of MOVE and surrounding residences in the '80s), and...
Wow-- that reminds me of a story I read in 2nd Grade. A little boy was given a big shiny penny (presumably a Large Cent) to go to the store to buy...
The coins were supposedly in two bags-- we're not talking cases here. If the bags were that heavy, he should have had something to wheel them...
