The high bidders on the two coins must have been shocked to find out after the auction that they weren't going to get the coins after all The...
Britain, obviously. The British invent things like the American colonies, steam engines, iron ships with screw propellers, computing machines, the...
I saw something like this selling gold vreneli in Berne, Switzerland in the late 1960s.
Moneyer: "I have your new portrait, Your Majesty" King: "So you think I look like that, eh?" Moneyer: "Oh, no, Your Majesty, your true Visage...
