Pretty nice coins, but you gotta focus on studying starting now or it will be five years of college rather than four...

I like them! Just make sure you have the right zip code or else your package will get lost in the mail like one of mine did. It was eventually found, though.

Have fun at Harvrd!

Haha that Egypt coin I bought a while ago (12/20/2015) and I really didn't pay too much for it!

That's right, but once I have the coin bug, I'm stuck with the coin bug. I'm sure I'll need to manage my time. Oh, and I can even take a course on numismatics at Harvard.

Thank you Typecoin! I'm really looking forward and am crossing my fingers about that zip code issue. It should be fine though. It's being delivered to my mailbox at 1 Oxford Street...I know--very posh.

I like these coins. I bought quite some Iranian (Persian) coins when I was there, including some golden Pahlavi coins. I really like those designs, too!
