From what I've heard, "short-staffed" is an understatement. I think Numista might be the wave of the future, but I don't use it as a pricing...
Yep. The online listing for KM29 says 12 mm. Thanks, 'Yoda. Numista does not seem to list it, or if they do, I couldn't find one. They do list...
Fellow collectors: how often have you seen a neat coin, medal, or token, and thought, “Man, I really like that, but unfortunately it doesn’t fit...
