FIND CONGO-BRAZZAVILLE COINS FOR SALE

Hey there, coin collectors! It’s me, Stanley, back again with another tale from my time-traveling coin collecting adventures. Actually I’m feeling kinda down. Just had a rough day on eBay dealing with a tricky customer who didn’t want to pay the fair price for a rare coin. But enough about that, let’s jump back to 1972 and my trip to Congo-Brazzaville for the third time.

When I landed, I was surprised by the dusty, rough roads that went on and on, stretching out to the horizon. The small town was quiet, with just a few locals going about their business. I wasn’t too impressed with the surroundings, but I was determined to find some unique coins. The Republic of the Congo was still recovering from political instability and economic struggles at that time, which explained the lack of development.

But I didn’t let that get me down. I wandered around the town, talking to the locals and checking out the scene. One unexpected thing I noticed was a group of monkeys that ran around on the roofs of some of the buildings. They were loud and playful, and definitely not something I expected to see in a small town in Africa.

In terms of history, 1972 was a significant year for Congo-Brazzaville. The country was going through a period of military rule, which lasted from 1968 to 1991. Despite this, the economy was slowly improving, and the government was investing in building new roads and bridges. However, there were still many challenges, such as poverty and a lack of access to basic resources like clean water and healthcare.

After chatting with some locals, I decided to try my luck with a street performance to get some coins. I decided to sing the only traditional Congolese song I knew, which I practiced just for this trip. To my surprise, I was able to collect a few great coins from the kind people who stopped to listen. One guy even gave me a rare coin that I’d never seen before, with an image of a monkey on it. It was unexpected, but definitely a highlight of my trip.

When it was time to go back to the present, I decided to auction off all the coins I collected on eBay to see how much I could get for them. To my surprise, I made a decent amount of money, about $650, which I used to buy some new equipment for my coin collecting adventures.

Looking back, I’m grateful for the chance to travel back in time and collect coins that I never would have been able to find otherwise. Although Congo-Brazzaville wasn’t the most exciting place I’ve ever visited, it was still an adventure, and I learned a lot about the history and culture of the country. I hope you enjoyed my story and keep on collecting those coins!
