Took the link out as it seems to be dead - after all, this topic is about 15 years old. But hey, I needed an opportunity to brag! This past weekend I was in Brussels with some members of a coin forum, and one of the highlights was a tour at the KBR (Royal Library). The director of the coins and medals department showed us some pieces in the library's vast collection. We saw many great coins, including very rare pieces such as this one: This is a coincard with a commemorative €2 coin (not silver of course) that was never issued. The mint had to melt all pieces down - well, almost all of them. The next one should be in the Ancients forum, but since this is a mixed topic, I'll just write about it here. We saw precisely this Aetna Tetradrachm when our guide took it out of one of the many drawers ... Some information about this coin: Wikipedia (Dutch) / Wikipedia (French) / Europeana (English). And yes, each of us was allowed to hold this thing. Another guy in our group said he will not wash his hands at least for several weeks, hehe. Christian
