Ok, I'll bite. :D 1949 or Showa Year 24 (昭和二十四年) was not a very exciting year for Japanese coins. I don't think that you will find a coin set...
The Glorious Revolution!! Nice coin!
The train wreck better describes some of the responses here. The OP did not bring up saving copper for investment, it was completely assumed of...

I completely agree that this appears to be the current reality, but this is one reason that my interest in this hobby has waned drastically. We're...
I use Libre Office, which is completely free and has pretty much everything that I need from Excel. In other words, it's close enough. You can...
