Coins US & Foreign - Photo Galleries
The following photogalleries show my representative coin finds that I recovered with metal detector in different parts of the world over last 14 years. A few coins shown in the World Coins photo gallery represent some European, East European, and Asian countries to which I haven't travelled yet but managed to unearth their coins. Because of the trade, commerce, and other social events that took place in history, the coins travelled across the borders and wound up at different locations to be found with metal detectors later.
Similar cases in the US include recoveries of Spanish Reals, British Coppers (mostly in the North-East), and Chineese coins, their images can be seen in the World Coins photogallery.
The Chineese coins ended up in the US in big quantities in mid-1800s. The explanation for that is very unusual. The American merchants started importing the woven baskets from Cnina around that time. The center-holed coins were attached to the baskets for decorative purpose.

Currently I'm editing the images of coins I've recently recovered during my trip abroad so more specimen will be shown in these photo galleries. Detailed numismatic and historical information on commonly found US and Russian coins will be included into Numismatic Corner section. That might be a useful source of reference material for many.
If you need help with ID'ing a Russian coin in your collection, please feel free to its picture. I'll be able to give you a correct coin ID as I have a few hard-to-find coin catalogs at hand.
