Just like some people can't pass a stray cat without trying to rescue it, some coin collectors can't pass up a hard luck coin with potential. If I...
Here's a link to a thread I started a few days ago. As you can see from the picture, this coin needs to be cleaned....
Thanks for the tip, Skippy. I went on there and placed a bid. I hate to pay $3 to ship it, but I've been looking for this so long that I'm getting...
Thanks to both of you for the help. I thought the Japanese coin was silver which is why I bought it. For 25 cents that's pretty good.
I need some help identifying these two coins I just picked up. The first I think is Japanese. The second looks Islamic (Turkish?) and I think it's...
thanks for the instructions. It sounds like it might be more trouble than its worth, but I'll check it out eventually.
Thanks. I'll have to try that. I don't know what it is covered with.

And last but not least, a 50 cent Endeavor commemorative from New Zealand, 25 cents from the Bahamas and 25 cents from the British Caribbean states.
Here is a Canadian dime, a 5 something coin from Cyprus and a British half penny.
Here's three from the great seafaring nation of Portugal. The big one is 50 escudos. The denominations on the others confuse me.
Good topic. Here's a Greece 1 and 50 drachmai, and a Spanish 50 centimos which, while it doesn't have a ship, does have an anchor.
Sellers can start the auction at any price they want though, so it's not like you either use 99 cents or buy it now. For the small time sellers...
Yeah, the edge is a little rough, but I saw that there was only a little more than a million minted in this, and who knows how many have survived?...
Ebay also changed their fee structure so your first 50 auctions listed a month are free no matter what extras you add on, so people can now get...
And no, the penny does not have that white line on it. That's a photoshop error on my part.
