Zumbly, thank you for posting that! I do not usually like any sort of modern commemoratives, but this one is quite attractive, specially the...
A great addition to your collection, alde! Enjoy it:)
Besides the occasional use of acetone, I have never really been much of a coin cleaner. Here is, however, a sestertius which I really thought...
Deacon, as you know, you can actually never have too many/too much of something you really like:). Your Vespasian denarii are great. I for...
