I think that the 1887-1937 5 pound pieces generally sell for a premium above bullion, actually.
Czech coinage is definitely underappreciated; I'm working on finishing my own Dansco Continental set. What's nice is that, as the collector base...
Umm, affordable?!? Certainly not within my (strained) budget!
I think that if the mint reduced the quantity of new items each year and focused on quality instead, the future of numismatics would be somewhat...
I've been engaged in a process of "continuous culling," in which I will comb through my Dansco stock book and agonize over which holed/cleaned/low...
Hmm, ok, an affordable list of must have world coins: 1. Great Britain Victoria One Crown (1887-1900) 2. 1935 Canada Silver Dollar 3. 1910 Mexico...

The fact that the mint is now having to resort to consistent gimmicks like the "W" cent and now a reverse proof nickel concerns me; seems to...
I've always find it interesting that you could buy "paper gold" anyway, given that there's nowhere near enough of the physical stuff to cover all...
With a large jar full of wheat cents, I should count myself a millionaire...
Look on the bright side: that 1965 was a lot more durable in circulation than its distant cousin, the copper plated zinc cents post 1982!
I love French gold; should have bought some of these back when they were still available for $700 each!
Revised revised... Mexico (50 Centavo, Liberty Cap Peso, Peso, Type, + folders for 1 centavo upward) Canada (Dollars, Type for Dansco;...
I think that the major stumbling block to eliminating cash is the resistance to negative interest rates. If money were all electronic, banks could...
