Start talking US money and I'm out of my league the minute the talk goes past the price of a beer.
It's a nice effect though, ask our US brothers what that is.

Good looking McCavour, like Ugly, I got started in banknotes with shinplasters. had no idea they existed before my first one from '23. Dollars have taken over primary interest but eventually I'll get back to finishing the 1870 set.

I like the hologram effect. Good buys.....the notes look very interesting too...
P.S. Retail on the holograms look to me like 79.00-129.00 depending on where.

Really good job, coincollect1. My dealer is a real rip-off, he would sell that ASE for like twice it's retail (no kidding), but can get some good deals anyway. I can't see my other dealer 'till the end of April....so, until then I'm just fishing for junk silver at shops. |

Small municipality (5000 people, only about 200 English speakers) next to a city. We live about 1-2 hours away from Montreal (which is the closest source of coin shops).
The guys I buy coins from are more part time collectors and full-time dealers than real numismatists. One owns a business dealing with hunting knives and leather wallets, one sells random collectibles (the rip-offer) and ones is a collector in antiques, silver, furs, etc.
I checked all over the net for shops in our vicinity, the closest being an hour away.
