I like those tetrastyle temples in general. The statue inside is a neat little detail.
To be honest, I did not read his entire article. Thanks for bringing up that point.
Acetone should not remove the toning unless the toning is some kind of artificially applied coloring which is susceptible to a solvent- in which...
I like that one with the map of Africa. I too am out of West African States coins. No Mauritania, either. I thought I had something from 2010,...
