I was looking at some more of this person's sold items and they have a lot of these commemorative halves that have that fake look to them. The...
I don't want to hijack your thread or anything, but I'm curious what you think of this? I saw this while browsing and it was at $25 with one bid....
That last post reminds me of these. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

At first I thought you were kidding but it actually works. 1855 was the date I had come up with by taking the accession year and adding 16, but I...
Does anyone know where I can find a translation of the dates to the Western calendar? I can translate the numbers but I'm not sure I'm doing the...

Would you consider coins from the British Indian Ocean Territory to be real coins or fantasy coins? I know they don't circulate and apparently...

Shoot. Was this in Schaumburg, IL again? I live really close to there and have been itching to buy some coins in person lately. I wish I could get...
