I simply couldn't resist! We all learned this in school... [MEDIA]
I kept thinking I know what this is, but I couldn't think of the word! I agree with the others, it looks like a pap boat.
The first three (I don't see any engravings on them) should sell well. They look gorgeous. The big one at the back with the inscription would be...
Definitely looks like Disraeli, or as Vicky called him - 'Dizzy' :P
It says "People's Republic of China". To me, that dates it to after 1949, and most likely, after the 1970s/80s. Without seeing the entire thing,...
Between 4-10 dollars.
To heal my wounded pride over the Spanish coin fiasco, I bought five silver coins at a local coin shop... The coins are: [IMG] Top: 1/-...

I'm not a coin collector, the condition doesn't bother me. I like it for its historical value and interest. I bought it because it was silver, and...
On the lid there are six characters, and a red square. The red square is meant to represent an artist's seal. Seals (which are always RED by...
While I'd like to believe AF and EvelyB, and think they're probably right, I'd still like to get it checked and tested. As Davy said, fakes are...
