I've loved them since I got my 1st a Gordian , iirc . The pull is great to get a Greek coin too . I might just sell a couple of my US coins .
Very nice additions of 'three new Romans'...they all have aspects that I love in those types.......just as all the other posts exhibit as well!! My Diocletian's and Constantine---Gratian seems to have 'escaped' my picture gallery LOL
