OK i'll assume that you are being serious. ...ask yourself.... WHAT two eagles was he referring to when he mentioned (quote) `specialy like the...
Aidan, perhaps he is..........then again, maybe he isn't. Let's face it he is in a better position to know what he means than you. If you don't...
(?) two eagles?.....where?
Since we are talking about contemporary forgeries, I also collect them. Here's one that is quite topical. It purports to be a silver 18 kreuzer...
