In other words, I'm finally done with the nomadic lifestyle and I'm unpacking my slabs (and raw coins too)--and realized what a mish-mash I assembled. It is time to pare down. So, at basically and kinda-sorta random I am going to start listing a few things here (I'm not ready to deal with ebay just yet).
This stuff ranges from my core collection duplicates, the paring down of a few themes and pretty much jettisoning my attempts at One From Every Country. In the early days I'd even thought to try OFEC in slabs, so that means this is a crazy mix and most things will be moderately valued with several cheap coins that had no business being slabbed. Prices listed are my best guesstimate on something reasonable, and change at random times. Feel free to let me know if I'm not asking enough .
SHIPPING: Details have changed as the coins are a little more variable. Basically, for US shipping, add $2 no matter how many coins/slabs are desired. Basically, I'm trying to do free shipping, but as I add the lower priced stuff, that becomes a little less feasible. A small, token amount will mostly cover the little stuff, but the big stuff is still mostly included in the price. IF you do not have a US shipping address (and that does of course include FPO/APO ), then the shipping will be at cost with whatever tracking/insurance is included. I haven't shipped anything to a non-US address in forever and a day, so I'll have to figure it out as I go along. There will be some countries that just won't work I'm sure (and I'm sure the US postal service will make me aware as I go along).
The pictures suck overall--I used my cell phone while sitting next to a window and my only editing was to crop, and kill some shadows. Any nice shots are purely accidental. If you want something more, I can try again.
PM with questions etc.
Sold ones are moved to the bottom of the post.

NGC MS-66 North Korea 2002 1/2 chon). HOLD. I think this was part of my short-lived "hippo collection". Aluminum.
PCGS MS-65 1964 Comoros. $15. Part of my relatively extensive aluminum franc coins.
NGC MS-65 1948 Cameroon. $20.
NGC MS-65 New Zealand sixpence. $25
NGC MS-64 French Somaliland. $47. I spent some time pursuing the French territory/regions. I'm paring them back to mostly the ones where I've actually been, so I'm keeping the West Africa and pruning the rest. This is a great, big aluminum one that has one of my favorite designs..the Lyre Antelope reverse.
NGC MS-64 Central African States. $37. This one does count as an "I've been there", but is a duplicate and on the chopping block here. These are 'giant elands' for those who are curious about the herbivore. Very flashy in hand, my pictures suck.
NGC MS-64BN Philippines 1936 M USA-Phil 1 c (IIRC this was part of my 'oh look it's a volcano' series of coins...that or because I took a blacksmithing class and the dude is sitting next to an anvil...and I've been to the Philippines). $50
NGC MS-63 BN Philippines 1944 S USA-Phil 1 c. There are still quite a few red bits, but the label says 'BN'. $8.
NGC MS-64 RB 1902 Great Britain 1/3 Farthing. $55.
NGC MS-63 BN 1902 Great Britain half penny (high sea level of course). The photo really draws attention to the print mark, it's not quite as noticeable to my eye. $45.
Bolivia 1830 $25
Peru 1832 $35
Mexico 1934 $15
Mexico 1944 $10
EDITED (and PM sent)...I had the wrong picture up for the 1944--it is a 50 centavos. I will have to be more careful--and not post sequentially like that again!
