I’ve had this 1888 Mexico 8 Reales silver coin since October 2021. I paid $84.55 for it, and I’ve always liked it for what it is... worn, and exactly the kind of piece that feels real in your hand. It

Since I started stacking in 2015, I have always bought at least one of the current year silver Libertad. However, in the first three years, I purchased the set sizes of BUs: 1/20, 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1

I added an 1888 Argentina Gold 5 Pesos to my collection. The gold coin is as large as the 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle! It is 90% gold, weight 8.0g grams and is 22.12mm. Even though I’ve handled many coins

If you’ve ever held a Mexican 2 Pesos gold coin, you know the first thought that hits you: this thing is tiny. But that’s part of the charm. It’s the smallest denomination in the gold coin series struck

My Double Delight rose has been keeping me on my toes this year. When it had its first big flush of blooms, the flowers were gorgeous—exactly the classic red‑edged look I was hoping for. But even then,

I have these two 20 Franc Lucky Angels that were minted 10 years apart! I keep coming back to these two 20 Franc Lucky Angels, minted ten years apart, and the more I sit with them, the stranger it feels.

I have but a few gold bars, and they are all tiny. My favorite gold bar is the 1989 90th Anniversary of Perth Mint 1/4 OZ Gold Ingot -Mintage 8000 - .2512 AGW This is the 1/4 oz ingot that was issued with

As I turned the corner on my walk, I realized I was getting close to Roger and Lyndie’s house. I always slow down a little when I pass it. Their place has a quiet kind of charm and is simple. It’s an English
