    Nice coin! You are right, like Yogi Berra said, "it aint over until its over" You still have 26 days to add more. I am now working on my labels/ still have to figure out how to type with different ancient alphabets/ medieval letters.

    Nice snare @Mat . I always liked the lion on that issue.

    I have the hemiliton version...
