The Passion of Collectors on CoinTalk is Inspiring!

Yep, I agree...I'm passionate, entertaining, and I make this place more fun than the presidential debates. And I'm full of hot air and an ego the size of Texas.

Ok, seriously now, this place is great. My ancient coin brothers and sisters are some of the coolest, smartest, and most passionate people I've ever met.

Since we are showing off interesting Asian coins, how about a killer nose and a winning smile? Nahapana was one cool looking dude.

Jpscorner.com & I believe on ebay as well.
They will work for needs customise packages so you dont have to buy a butt load of things you only need few of. Different styles of airtites like Pish refetred to.
I get most of my storage needs there, they're a great group.

 

If your interested in Asian coins - there are many (many,many,many,many,many x 10 Nth degree many.) Some don't care for them, some don't collect them, some dabble, some love and some have an insatiable appetite for them.

As far as Asia is concerned this is probably my current favorite, and another Kushan.

It has everything that I find cool in coins. Finely executed art work, fine details, nice legends, historic with eye appeal.
