Thanks Mat ... yah, this is actually one of my favourites coins from the recent 6 coin snatch-n-grab!! Oh => and I too do not have too many Rebuplican Bronzes ... and this is my first "prow" coin man, as I've stated several times bfore => "there is nuthin' better than ships and animal coins!!" :dead-horse:
Its much easier to hide coins from the Mrs. since they are small. I can't hide my comic statues from anyone.
Yup, the recent comic trend has taken off exceptionally well. Some of the statues are done really well, however, they're pretty expensive. Sorry to hijack the OP's thread.
Indeed. I am waiting for the next crash considering Marvel is going to be doing silly movies like "Guardians of the Galaxy" & others of low title. I agree on how well some statues are. Few I have wanted but $300 for 1 statue or a pile of coins...obviously I go for the coins, lol.
