November I found a very rare raw coin in the wild (not a Morgan) that graded high and is worth in the $60-70k range.


Oh the suspense...

I know Ken too. We talked about Chinese coins at the 2015 ANA Summer Seminar.

Lame numismatic claim to fame: I met the lady whose face has been on Dutch coins for over 30 years.

@DL20K: I think Krause forgot about the other 139.000.000 minted that year... For what I know, almost 140.000.000 were minted.

Not lame at all. Thats actually pretty cool. Would be especially cool in the U.S. since all people featured on the coinage are dead.

The girl who portrays Sacagawea, Randy'L Teton, disagrees, methinks. She was just 22 when she modeled as the Shoshone woman in 1999.

Anyway, do you have any clue of how old I am?

Found a 1900 Keijo-Pusan Railway 50 Mun note, uncancelled (S-101a I think?) in the quarter bucket at my local store. Book value for VF is about $225? They treat me quite well so I told them and received some store credit as compensation. Always fun to be a foreign collector and look through "junk buckets" that dealers don't care about :)

Edit: have yet to meet anyone famous in the business per se
