Couple of those golden coins would buy my whole collection. You guys must really be doing something right.
Latest addition to my collection is something I don't get to add much of, a Roman Republic. Best of all is the Ram on the reverse. L. Rustius. (74 B.C.) AR Denarius O: Helmeted head of Mars right; mark of value below chin. R: Ram standing right. L RVSTI" in exergue. Rome Mint 3.64g 19mm Crawford 389/1; Sydenham 782; Rustia 1
I went into the wrong auction room a while back and bought this. It has nothing to do with coins it's a touch of history.
Gotta love a matte proof Lincoln. The 1909 VDB is tough though. Swinging through "The Big Easy" as part of my family vacation next week. First time visitor.
Visit Hugh's collection. He charges $500/hr single or $1500/hr for groups of 3-5 but does provide comfortable seating and unlimited drool towels
