Hey there, folks! Stanley here, the time-traveling coin collector from Canada. I recently went on a trip to Libya in 1967, and boy, was it a nightmare. If you’re into collecting Libya collectible coins, let me tell you all about my trip, but be warned – it’s a doozy.
I thought it would be a grand idea to travel back in time to Libya in 1967 as that was a time when its coins weren’t in high demand. I set my time machine and off I went. But it turns out, that machine is about as reliable as a sneezy sneeze – it broke down in the middle of nowhere, leaving me stranded for hours. I was hours late, but when going back to the past I guess that’s relative.

To get the coins I needed, I had to resort to begging for change. That’s right, folks, Stanley the coin collector was panhandling like a hobo. But hey, it worked. I managed to score some coins I’d never seen before. One of my “clients” was this large lady who looked at me like I was a pile of garbage. But that just made me more determined to succeed.
Finally, after hours of wandering, I made it to Tobruk, which is a town in northeastern Libya. It’s located near the Egyptian border and was a significant spot for the Allies during World War II. There were some interesting historical sites to see, but honestly, I was too busy sweating through my shirt to appreciate them properly.

Eventually, I made it back to the present day without any more breakdowns, and I tried to auction off the Libya collectible coins on eBay. The coins were a mixed bag – some were in decent condition, but others looked like they had been chewed on by a herd of goats. I started the bidding at $37, but the bidding was like watching a snail trying to race a turtle. The final sale price was $392, which wasn’t too shabby, but still, I was hoping for more. At least the buyer left me a positive review – I guess they appreciated my honesty, even if the coins were a bit, erm, rough around the edges.
