[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I just looked at my coins to see if I was delusional in thinking the wings on Victory in the OP were much smaller....
So unusual to see the small wings on Victory.
I wish I knew more about how tooling looks and the methods. Same with smoothing. I try my best to buy from good sellers. I bought a bunch of...
I still like seeing your pictures of your first Roman collection. I have learned to have some general parameters when I am looking for things...
