I was watching a documentary recently that made a big deal about Vikings having settlements in the far north-east of North America 500 years...
Like when I see coins sell in auctions, then see them on Ebay the next day with a BIN that is double what they just paid. I try not to be too...

Julia the Elder was on my list of coins to get, but I lost hope over time and she was bumped into the "Excluded" bin a couple weeks ago :(. (I was...

A British, Anglo-Saxon Thrymsa is actually on my list of coins to get! Of course, spending $2k+ on a coin is a huge deal for me (I've only done it...
For me, the coins that I most enjoy looking at are those where a satisfying amount of detail can be observed at arm's length. This comes down to...
