    Hey, thanks Green => yah, I often feel that you are a wee bit similar to me ... you stand-up and give an opinion and/or a "howdy" when you think that it's required!

    ... you are definitely one of my favourite fringe-collectors (you and Jello & jj00)

    I honestly hope that you awesome 'mainly-modern-dudes' are having a fantastic night ... I love you guys!!

    Cheers

    It's sort of like choosing which dog to leave behind when we go fossil hunting.

    That's a very sweet sampling of coins, doucet (you have a few amazingly cool desert patina babies that have always made me a wee bit jealous)

    ... thanks for posting

    Doucet and Collect89: Those have to be the best Mysia coins I've ever seen. Most do not show off the tusk.
