Yup I was. In any case, the slabbed coinshown is a real beauty. Makes you wonder how it could possibly be that old and still be that nice....
With all due respect, if the coin is already graded and slabbed for authenticity and condition, isn’t that worth mentioning in the original post?...
I think that the situation with coins is not going to change. The technology to make a “perfect” counterfeit has always been out there, if someone...
Well, I am personally a bit overly concerned about packaging, so I would think of a few things first. What residue is left in these? Nitrites?...
Well, you are ahead of me, then. I only have some of the UK notes.
I would start with UK MPCs, as there was a BOATload that hit the market several years ago. There were millions of UK notes held in Berlin for...
In theory I would LOVE to collect them,. But I never really have. I might start, though. I do understand that there are many that are rare...
BTW, I am just curious about your reasoning. Why do you consider Postal Orders numismatic items, but not Money Orders? I could see how...
Well, in the US they are called Postal Money Orders - does the PO in the UK also sell Money Orders? What I have are iussued by the PO - call them...
I am pretty fluent in British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealandish, and some other similar languages. I had French in High School and was...
I have some US, and some miscellaneous other foreign stuff. I have a set of mint German mark notes from the last issue going up to 100 DM...

Yup. The older one had Jefferson's home Monticello on the back (like the nickel).
If the coin is worn at all but bright and completely coated, then it is reprocessed. Circulated cents lost the zinc on the high spots fairly quickly.
They are not at all rare, but are hard to find if you are not looking for them. In other words, go to the bank and they can probably set you up...
So what!!! I am sure that all countries are welcome here, and many people already collect foreign coins/notes. And the ones that don't might...
Do you know if Royal Mail will sell money orders without a date stamp? I wanted to ask for some the next time I am in the UK. I do have some...
I have a Lux 20 cent coin with weird stars. Most coins have stars which are uniform , but this one has stars which “stretch” as they go around...
This is what I understood as well. I heard that shell casings were not actually used, but that the alloy was similar to shell casing brass.
I might very well be wrong, but I thought that SL dollars for example, were a but bigger than Morgans. (And trade dollars were definitely heavier...
