I wish you could post pics, Chris - do you at least have a scan of the the Ostrogothic?
[IMG] Little bit of schmutz on an otherwise gorgeous coin. Do you think I should try to clean it?

Yes, but one man's art is another man's rubbish. Here are the reasons I don't like that design. I grew up in the Catholic Church during the era...
They're dark coins, Steve. There's nothing I can do about that. Well...there's always MS70. :p
Anacs is authenticating Daniel Carrs? Hmmm....I guess you wouldn't want any fake Kennedys out there. :confused:
Another for practice... [IMG]
Well, that listing ended. I had a feeling that would happen once I posted the auction, lol. It's been a good exercise anyway.
