    To the person who created that attachment cletis faye just posted:

    I might repost that, but only if you promised to go back to school long enough to learn the difference between "you're" versus "your" and "lose" versus "loose". [​IMG] ;)

    Here is a Maltese commemorative €2 coin, purchased at a coin show a week ago. It is about the first flight from Malta in 1915:

    Brown, thick, n' chunky.

    'Tis a good set of attributes, in copper coins just as it is with peanut butter.

    One has to admire the Swiss for the precision of their strikes:

    How about a little love for an old, beat up, well traveled 1846 ruble. I couldn't let it stay in the junky shop I found it in and it only cost me $8.

    I have acquired my first Holland Ducat! A bit bent, perhaps slightly clipped, not perfectly centered but a quality XF example I'm proud of!
