I find it odd, but I have net seen that many Elizabeth II Maundy Sets offered at the shows. I ran into a dealer at the most recent Winter FUN show...
Today is Maundy Thursday. Collectors of British coins are familiar with the coins that the King of England gives out on this day. I don't have...

Did you know that the company who owned the Hudson Automobile Company also owned the Hudson Department Store Chain? I have a lot of tokens. Here...
That is a great idea. I have never thought of doing that. The only dates I have looked for have been my own, 1949 (No Proof set sadly) and 1883...
Yes, indeed a most generous offer. In the 1960s, the Woolworth's coin case had the 1939-D priced at $13 in circulated condition! Of all the...
MS-61. It's got a lot of marks on the cheek. The reverses are almost always better on these and many coins. I would wager that this was one of...
