    You did way better then me, 144 new additions is fantastic. From the posted coins I like them all, maybe the Julius Ceasar/ Crispus are outstanding!

    Uh oh. Hang onto your hat. This ugly creature cost me over $150 back in 2003.

    It's not for sale, but it gives you a sense of scale, maybe.
