well, thank you, I will Pishpash. I do enjoy reading of ancients by you fellows although it has never been one of my interests. the wealth of knowledge shown demystifies this area for me.
Arrived this morning, great deep green colour. It is 28mm and weighs in at a respectable 12.21g. Is fondleable a word?
Pman, your coins are spectacular. You may, or course, ignore my question, but I am wondering if you travel a lot to usually buy coins "live", or if you have a representative vet the coins for you.
Actually, to be 100 percent honest. I work like crazy at my landscape job (80+ hrs a week) Then have the Winter off to enjoy hobbies. I have gotten ALL of my coins thru sixbid.com site. Here you can scan all the auctions and bid on coins that are of interest. (Sadly) most I cannot afford....but I can always dream. European auctions have really nice material, esp. Tkalec AG/Kunker/Ars Classica/Rauch/Baldwins/
Cracks like your coin has goes with the territory. Just hug it, and love it, and call it a great coin. Cheers....
