I once got a complaint that a coin I sold was too small, lol. It was an AE4 - the dimensions were listed accurately. Of course I took the return,...
I agree with you Pete - I'm just speaking for myself.

A Merry Christmas to you and yours, JW!
December spending spree. I should just be happy with what I have, but where's the fun in that?
No great shakes here - a common coin. I'm sure you all have pockets full of them. But I liked the sharp detail on the reverse, and the glossy dark...
I think that's an honest assessment of the matter, Pete. One of my areas of interest is coinage of the Arabian Peninsula, and I've bought quite a...
