I remember seeing this on ripleys believe it or not, the jack palance hosted one a few years ago. It was a quick blurb about a civilization a long time ago that used large stone circles with a hole in them as money, standing about two to three feet high. I've tried to find anything about...

I was just catching up on the last two isses of NN, and there was an interesting guesty opinion basically advocating for high relief modern commems. While high relief is obviously impractical for commerce, there's no reason it couldn't be done for commemoratives. I'm just wondering if anyone...

I saw several MS-67s at the Long Beach show and a handful of MS-67s in my career, but NONE hold a candle to this one. No, this is not the kind of unc you can buy for $20. Take a look: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39456&item=3049677821 Thanks.

Hi Folks, A few weeks ago I asked about the possibility of becoming infected with "Commemorative Fever" and I received several insightful replies. I learned that there are many numismatic enthusiasts who have been exposed to the disease (some for years), who have never actually shown any signs...

I happen to have a Japanese coin that has two varieties for one year, I believe it's a 10 yen, either Y#71 or Y#72 (but I might have to check, the coin isn't here). I was wondering if anyone knew the difference between old script and regular script? Since I have no other coins to compare this...

Time for another contest. Gary Loveless (last year's Saint Pool winner) and I (retired Saint Pool Guru) are going to run a "joint contest." The scenario: Gary has nine coins to offer as a prize. All you have to do is guess the total face value (NOT the numismatic value). Here are some...

Colonials often sell for high prices on ebay. This auction for a St. Patrick's farthing brought an amazingly high price for such a heavily worn coin. I thought it would sell for $50 or so. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3048062545&category=528&rd=1

Is it just me, or does this coin look a tad on the "odd side?" I'm not sure I can put my finger on why, but this coin just doesn't look right to me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3356&item=3049288211 Larry
