Some nice coin in here. Used to collect coins as a little one. Unfortunately most of the (largely silver) US currency was lifted by a family member for drug money around jr high age.
At least I've still got all the old, weird looking foreign currency. Still pick up coins if I come across them traveling, just don't actively buy them, if that makes sense.
I have an 1858 Flying Eagle penny. thats kind of rare, i took it to a coin place here in philly couple years ago and asked what it was worth, the guy offered me 40 dollars for a damn penny... I said no thanks and brought it home, i figured if he offered 40 it had to be worth a little more than that at least. And 40 bucks on .01 cents is insane.... even though 40 bucks is not a lot of money, its worth 4000 times face value or more... which i just think is cool.
I actually have the entire Fiji Taku collection. Last year the New Zealand mint changed designs and Fiji stopped backing it so they switched countries with the same design but without the Fiji name. (I think it it Nue now). I stopped collecting the series when they switched countries.
Is someone still collecting the Zombucks? I just bought the nice "Slayed Dollar" #8 copper Zombuck!
And I failed... I totally missed the #7 Zombuck...
I've got them all so far. Whatchu need? The copper #7
Yep #7 Copper Starving... I always buy them from Canada because the damn shipping isn't that much when they're just new out. But I totally missed it... and now they ship for 15€+ to Germany. So the coin (for 3€) + 15€ shipping that's ridiculous.
For example I just bought the #8 Zombuck for 3€ (coin) + 4€ shipping... totally different. I don't know why...
