Wow - that 1904 20-Mark is ***STUNNING***. I thought mine looked good - damn! Very nice. :0

Cheers.

 

Yes, but, the real question is: how many butterflies worth of coins is this?

 

I always used to think that was a portrait of Ervig. Actually, it was Jesus/ the Visigoths where the first to have Christ on their coinage/ 680-87AD.

 

Only when I am on my snowmobile/ my Arctic Cat Thundercat will do 130+mph/220K. It will get up to that 130+ in 6 seconds flat. Fastest I had a car/ 280kph+/ 99 corvette.

 

Butterfly/ Moth/ Beetle collections are same idea as with coins. There are Japanese collectors that pay 50K for a single specimen. Some collections are worth 20+ Million. Also/ quality is same/ perfect AI specimens go for 10X a defective specimen. Probably, I should have concentrated on coins from start
