welcome at CT @biblecoinguy If your whole collection has the quality of your angel, I'm looking forward to seeing them too Q
Wellcome biblecoinguy , I just joined this forum too. The only biblical coins I own are these restrikes minted in 1919 by the Royal Dutch Mint in Utrecht , they were used in Sunday schools in the Netherlands betweenWW1 and WW2 , all marked 1919.
Welcome, biblecoinguy! I'm really into biblical coins, that's my main focus too. I'd love to see your coins! Erin
Welcome. I look forward to your posts! I bought an interesting booklet in the last CNG auction. It has half a dozen small bronze coins. I liked the last one best. The authentications on the back page were interesting.
