It is interesting because of the unique design, which is not typical of the usual run of the mill type USA commemoratives, it stands out.

Only USA Half Dime I have is a SL dated 1841-O, which I think is my earliest branch mint coin also.

Thanks to Dr. Bunny, we have one of these nice coins in our house. I like the pysanky eggs on this coin, and seven sides, very symbolic.

You always see the outside in pictures but the inside is fantastic also. If you were to try you could not find a more emblematic expression of the Ukrainian culture than Pecherskaya Lavra. And I have been there

There was a programme on the television last night about Chornobyl - notice the Ukrainian spelling also on the coin. This has to be one of the costliest disasters ever in terms of thousands of lives and in expense of cleanup and containment. This disaster will continue to affect people generations from now. Even being 100km from Chornobyl in Kyiv, I still wondered how safe even Kyiv is now? A nice design for a touchy subject.

For a while he lived in Paris, obviously since he was the USA ambassador to the French Royal Court.

I have 2500 Mercury Dimes, they can't be wrong.

I have serial number 0000012 on my Clydesdale Bank of Scotland £5 set from 1996. By far and away the lowest I will probably own.

I usually do NOT like toned coins, a lot of them seem artificially or unevenly toned. However this piece exhibits nice uniform and original toning and is an eye pleasing piece for even a toning descriminator like myself.

When I was little my father brought back a large canvas bag full of coins from Australia, Japan, and Vietnam that he had saved all of during his tour of duty in Asia. This would become the nucleus of my collection. I would sell off or trade off some coins, but I still have one of every type of coin from that bag.

Isn't kind of difficult to find a Portuguese coin WITHOUT a ship?

Can't we just overprint the Intis and use them for our coinpeople currency?

I do accept paypal of course.

In September 2001 while the rest of the world was agonizing over the events in the United States, my wife and I were securely in Ukraine. We came to get our family, our two children whom were born in Ukraine and became a part of our family. Fast forward nearly 4 years later and we feel it is time to return to Ukraine, so we start our paperwork to return to adopt at least one more. But providence has a funny way of changing our plans, we barely start our process then we are contacted by an agency that is bringing Ukrainian children to America this summer. They need host families urgently, so somehow they find out that we are looking to adopt - and we have to pick up two Ukrainian children here at the airport in the USA on Thursday 23 June All this is getting pretty costly, so just like last time back in 2001 I am parting with extranneous parts of my coin collection. These dimes are going to be the first of many items I will be selling off over the next few months to fund all of our expenses. These dimes are all 1944's and there are three D mints and 7 Philly mints here. Postage on this lot is $1.60 to your USA location and additional at cost to your foreign location. Some of you may not have figured out who I am, but my old userid on the old Coinpeople was Krasnaya_Vityaz, so if that feedback is still available you can appreciate that I am not some fly by night here Thanks to Art for letting me know I had no starting price, but this starts at face value, but do remember what this is about. Auction ends next Monday 27 June at 19:00 EST in the USA or 7PM.

No actually it didn't. It was about 6.5$

When I saw the title I thought you might be referring to some of the small gold coins issued by Goznak, with denominations of 10 or 50 Rubles. I actually want some of the Ballet coins.

I can proudly state that I got a bigger piece it is about 21 cm or about 8.25" which was common for the earlier ones, and at less than a third of the price on the pieces on that site

The best coin I have lost permanently, from over 6 years ago was a 1670 Bristol Farthing, a 17th century token that was mailed to me by a friend in Scotland. The coin arrived in the mail the very day I got a call from my sister that my Mother was in the hospital and that I needed to travel to Washington DC immediately. In all the confusion and rush of the day, I think I may have accidentally put the coin back in the mailer it was in to put away, and then later in the day I mistakenly threw it away. It was one of the nicest Bristol farthings I had seen, I bought it from a friend for less than he paid for it. I hoped for a long time I would find it, but alas it probably is in some landfill somewhere And then there was the United Colonies $4 bill from May 1776 that I bought when I was a kid, I liked looking at it, and I had a bad habit then of looking at things and leaving them lying around the house. Somehow eventually it disappeared, of course I blamed my brother but he continued to deny taking it. About a year later I decided to remove the bottom of our sofa, to dig out the coins I could hear jingling around on the dust cloth underneath. I found several coins, even half dollars, but the best find was my 1776 $4 bill in its holder, no worse for having spent over a year in the sofa.

Actually I shy from the post 1918 coinage and go more for Hamburg and Bavaria, but then I have a particular interests in those areas anyway.

I am kind of surprised more of these things did not get melted down by the Belgian colonials when they replaced these with their own coinage. These have a lot of copper.

When I was in Germany I collected up all the silver 5 and 10 marks I could get from banks, exchanges etc. I sold them off gradually many years later, but now again I have a 750th anniversary of Berlin, notable for the "Erwiger" pfennig on it. I like coins on coins.

There were not many of these temporary "kupons" "talons" etc anywhere that were appealing. This is tough, I do have one of each unfortunately. I collected them after these countries came into being. When Kupons were used in Ukraine, they were quite unpopular, actually there was some preference with some to keep using Rubles. In fact I have heard the new currency, the Hryvnia, referred to as Rubles by older folks. The uric acid note got my vote.

I think I heard somewhere that the piece went for about $150000. I love that coin, it must have been quite a job to create.

I have several coins that were more suitable as weapons, couple of pieces of plate money from Sweden, a Manilla from Nigeria, AE 46 from the Ptolemy III of Egypt, a couple of the Siberians, and lets not forget that corral of 5 Kopeks. I need to do a page on huge coins.

Arrived on Friday 17th June.
