Mat, apparently. You are divesting yourself of crumbs :D I'm pretty pleased with my recently acquired Doug crumb :)
Ancient coin catalog description translations: "wholesome example" = very worn, but generally in a uniform and attractive manner; a decent coin...
Usually I go 2 or 3 over for the same reason :D Not sure why I used 1 today but all's well that ends well :)
The Leu auction resumed today and I have to say it was very enjoyable. There was a good mix of coins, reasonable estimates, and I picked up a...
Yeah, I didn't mean to totally dismiss all concerns raised here :) As for CoinTalk vs Forvm when it comes to discussing such things, I much...

I'd buy it just because of those delightful and accurate adjectives :D
@Roman Collector and @Mat -- wonderful reverse types! Being able to correlate a coin's architecture with something still in existence is always...
