Bought a lot of cheap Hungarian coins on eBay that arrived today. Filled in a decent number of dates and had a few upgrades as well. There were a...
You'd have to do a specific gravity test or XRF to confirm the composition. British coins don't change weight when the composition changes.
Was browsing ebay the other day when I saw a lot of French francs. It was mostly 50s roosters, but there were a few 1960 1 Francs. Noticed one was...

Having seen a lot of what he has, I second this!
Maybe down the road. I mainly focus on circulating coins, but I do have a couple of the proofs. I'm normally of the school of thought of it being...
Finished my Roosevelt Dime set unexpectedly today. Paid $59, which comes out to about 12x face. Seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. [IMG]
1894-G German Mark - Mintage 184,000 [IMG][IMG] Paid melt.
