Man, talk about a narrow niche! Was it @HoledandCreative, I wonder? Now there’s the emperor of holey coin collectors.
Interesting! So what, indeed, is that “R”, after all? As mentioned above, I thought it was a “K”. An abbreviation for “Henricus Rex”, maybe?
Ha! I had to restart my computer for some stupid update, so when I came back to the site, I was not logged in and saw... *gasp!* Ads!...
