Hi, I was planning on going to the Summer Fun show in Orlando July 11-13, 2013. I basically collect foreign (Latin American Republics &...
Certainly. Have it silver plated and put it on Ebay.
According to CNN, the US population increased by almost 10% from 2000 to 2010. The non-hispanic white population increased 1%. The increase was...
Hi Eng & Thanks for your comments. Actually that owl came from Stack's NYICS auction in Jan, 2012 (lot#213). That collection had some major...

Just recently I got my 1st EBAY coin! However I had to return it AND I gave a neg to a guy who had 4,000 positive reviews. It was a 1912...

Hi Eduard, I seem to recall reading something about these in H. Flatt's 5 volume series on Peruvian coins. However, I'm in Panama at present &...
