I don't have one, but I've seen them in coin shops, and they are indeed very handsome - one of the better Capital designs in my opinion.
I haven't seen bullion with an ancient theme. Where do you get that?
You won't wear out your welcome here by posting coins- - it's what we do! The first is a very nice example of the falling horseman type of...
I trust you know how to size up a forgery in this series. As for myself, I wouldn't dare buy a coin like that without professional authentication.

Totally within tolerance. The coin is authentic in my opinion. You occasionally come across ancient coins that have been waxed for the sake of...
That's a handy little chart!
I'll go with the books. It would be a huge undertaking to learn to read a few new languages, but an exciting challenge as well.
