    Latest addition is a Cameroon 1 Franc.

    Wouldn't mind a 2 franc but they get pricey.

    These beasts came in the mail today.
    They are 39mm in diameter, weigh about 34g, and have a 0.925 silver center. I've had a hard time finding the exact weight of the center but I've read in several places that is is about 20 grams. If that's the case, I paid under melt for them :)

    Nice, I have wanted to collect those silvers from Mexico but there is just so many of them and some can get expensive.

    Considering the type of coin, I think a little over melt is within reason. It's not like buying a 1 oz round for markup price, I believe some of these world coins have a touch of numismatic interest.

    These Canadians came in the mail today. I got them for about $5 under melt. Nobody else bid on them. The seller only took pictures of a couple of the quarters and the dimes. In the description he mentioned that you would get the dollar, 6 quarters, and 4 dimes. I took my chances and ended up alright :)
