Seth, I misspoke myself - not Constans, but Gallus. And the second coin was the one I was trying to link to. Those are the images in the auction...
I wish I had been born a generation earlier, so that I could have heard Callas sing live, and Renata Tebaldi, and Mario del Monaco, to name a few...
Yes, Green was indeed born at a very young age.
@Herberto - I would be very happy to have those gold coins in that grade - they are quite lovely.
:hilarious:

I discovered a coin today that I didn't know I had - came in a large mixed lot, and I hadn't bothered to check everything. This is an unusually...
I must be the odd man out. My wife is not the least bit concerned about how much money I spend on coins, and she's genuinely interested in some of...
Ah. A late bloomer.
I have two twin sons. They are both turning 16 this month, and they both want cars, lol. F- me.
