Thanks! The thrill adds some excitement to a sometimes mundane hobby. I’m glad you’ve had good results with satellite photos (should be an...
First time I've seen "novodel" referring to anything other than Russian coins
It's possible that the edge was applied after they were cast, thus no seam. Wouldn't be a first by any means. Also, I'm curious as to what this...

Had to google the guy, but you're right, a lot of close resemblance in those mugs. Unfortunately there aren't many ways left to get good deals...
Good deal! These seem to be prone to toning, probably due to the environment of where they came, but often ugly and undesirable toning. Your coin...
I wonder this all the time. Why even bother posting a photo if no one can make out what you're selling. And I've seen even worse ones than this!...
I can't imagine the seller is unintentionally doing a bait and switch. The coins you received are laughably fake and also cast. Unfortunately eBay...
Looks like it for sure, but I believe it may just be repunched letters. These coins were not made to very high quality standards :)
Took a gamble on a coin presented with very blurry photos and described as an 1830 Bolivia 4 soles. I couldn't make out much, but had a feeling...
I find ebay to still be the best place for this if buying from reputable dealers. Vendors from Hong Kong and China often get lumped in together,...
Here's some more. Note the added hilarity of "3 available" :rolleyes:...
Good catch! The "damage" matches up perfectly with the fake from the worldofcoins.eu link. Clearly fake beyond debate :)
I'd say it's a rather nice looking EF. The MD is pretty commonly seen on Norwegian coins from 1870's and up.
Looks like a square 0, but a bit blurry to make any opinions on authenticity.
@Mr. Flute heavy metal/Neanderthal business guy is still my favorite member photo of all time here
This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, but haven't found any easy way to get it done. Losing track of what you have is just a...
Send one or two ounces of coins (or gram equivalent) at a time folded in with several pieces of paper in a regular letter. Yes, there is risk due...
Cameroon had one which I'm pretty sure was not a one year type.
I can't think of any examples where a mint mark was hand punched on individual coins. On the dies yes, but coins? Seems impractical.
Separate names with a comma.
