Yes, Paul, the Yap stones do weigh more, as the article that i read had them weighing more than a car, but that misses the point. I have already...

I have said it before, Steve. You have some GREAT coins, there. I REALLY enjoyed that Gallienus. So when Italy joined the EU the 'As' was...
(To tell the difference, go by weight - 1oz [28+ gm]=1d, 2oz [56+ gm]=2d) Interestingly, Australia didn't get it's own 'coinage' until 1910 for...
@> Doug Thanks for that. I did notice the 'busy' nature of the reverse, but I missed the 'double strike'. (Obvious now that you pointed it out.)...
