I have the Lithuanian coin just released for the GR"A

Getting soon the other 2
Chatham softer coin, by the Slovakian Government
Maharal M'Prag Coin, by the Czech Government
Someone came in today with the Gr"a coin. He was at his non jewish Lithuanian mechanic who showed it to him. Then asked if he wanted to bring it to his Yeshiva. "I buy to look at and show, not to put in closet".
I'm not who you think I am.

I'm sure many people here have this, so not exactly rare...a dollar coin in a small vinyl pouch that I got from the Rebbe on a Chanukah, probably sometime in the late 80s (it has the date, but I don't remember it offhand).  I have a dollar bill that I got from him as well, but I think a coin was not given often, so relatively rare.

What are the going prices for a dollar bill?

Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

(I'm not sure what that means...)

I checked it out today. The chess stuff wasn't for collectors.
(If you want to buy a chess clock from him, they're $30. I don't know the going rate.)

A silver colored canadian penny, I forget the exact year but when I looked it up, it doesn't exist
Is that like the American 1943 tin(?) penny?
I'm have to look back at it, I believe it was canadian.

It's very strange

Did you test it to determine if it is silver?

Yes. it's not made of silver.

The strange thing is I couldn't find any info online about there being such a coin..

So you think it's coated? Chemically changed?

It doesn't seem coated, how can one change the color of bronze?

Btw I don't think I've found another (picture of a) 1987 canadian penny that says k6 on it.

Anyone here a mumche in old judaia coins (like bar kochva time period)..
I have a small collection, not sure if any are real or not
Were you able to get any info on these ? I’m more or less finished collecting American coins & I've taken an interest in old judaia, roman, & greek coins.
