Have a look at this photo, taken in Norway: http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/img/tmp/IMGP0873.jpg As I understand it, the symbol on the left of the sign is used to indicate "Place of Interest" in parts of Scandinavia. At one time there was a country that used this symbol on at least one of its...

Folks, Had a seller on eBay telling me "Your package has been sent today by PRIORITY mail . Registration number RR 3488 2746 5 PT" ANybody know if Portugal has international priority mail? If so, how does one check the state of one's package? Thanks,

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Everyone. Looking around Ebay for Walking Liberties, I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41101&item=3914737574&rd=1 And *that* is supposed to be "pristine"? Yikes...

I'm curious - do the "Pure" collectors sell coins, or do they just buy them and keep them forever. If you don't sell, don't know how to sell, or can't sell, does that make one "Pure" also? Rgds Jan (Un-Pure collector since 1943)

I buy and sell coins, and i would class myself as a pure collector. When i buy a coin i buy to hold onto or retain, the only time i buy will selling in mind if i'm buying a filler piece for a date set. I sell and use the proceeds to buy the upgrade or the next coin. I usually lose money selling,...

I bought two collections off of Eay that had to be sent back. One collection of coins was supposedly the sellers pride and joy that he was willing to sell to some lucky bidder (me). The coins in question were BU alright but were so bashed up that... The 2nd Ebayer sells me stuff touted as in...

I went to see the movie "Seabiscuit" today. Of course, part of the movie takes place during the Great Depression. The early part traces the lifes of the owner, the trainer and the jockey. After the stock market crash, the jockey's family are living in a "Hooverville" and at one point,...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Everyone. I just found this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41085&item=3916909053&rd=1 It sort of looks like a nice coin, but the obverse looks a little porous

I never fail to be amazed at the mendaciousness and blinding ignorance of some Chinese hawkers of counterfeits. This fake 1879 CC trade dollar, at least, is unlikely to come up on any rational search, and is hidden away in the Medieval coins...

Quite a few coin auctions on ebay have pictures that claim to be coins, but could, from their looks, be almost anything. Often these auctions could be a bargain, but it is impossible to tell from the picture. Has anyone here gambled on such auctions? If so, were the results worth it? Do you...

This was the title of an article in the Celator, a well-regarded and recommended publication about ancient coins, that I recently dug up at the library. It's an article from 1992 that's a translation of a 1968 article in French by M. Jean Mazard. I had hoped it would delve in detail into the...

I spent some $2 bills, dollar coins and 2005 buffalo nickels at a White Castle in New York yesterday. This caused quite a stir and competition among the workers to buy up these denominations. One worker said he was buying the $2 bills because "they'll be worth something someday". I've heard this...

I am wondering if this is a positive? In most businesses, we prefer repeat customers. Why is Ebay sales different? Doris
