I already addressed that point in part, when I wrote: “The text concerning "punishing the losers" mentions the “The effect” when referencing...
I humbly suggest that the road to respectful disagreement would be to point out merely that my opinion differs from that of C W Peck, and in some...
You are certainly correct to say that international acceptance of coin would be much influenced by intrinsic value. I think you are also correct...
Yes, I judge these coins are part of a big and very complicated picture. England almost always maintained its coinage better than its continental...
