Hello Howard. Good questions indeed. I wish I could shed some light on them, but all the information I have on argentii of the Tetrarchy comes...
I think I've got an extra theta around here somewhere. Hang on...ah, here it is. Θ
What many collectors don't understand is that RIC rarity values are 100% accurate, and they will always be 100% accurate. But they apply only to...
