Sweet!
Awesome.
Howdy. Sorry I've been scarce lately. That will continue for a few more days, perhaps. @Lunchbox John- haven't gotten your SBA shipped yet....
Haven't forgotten about this. I'll do a drawing and announce it and ship these before too terribly long, I promise. Just gonna be scarce around...
As it happens, I bought a Mysore fanam of Tipu Sultan from the Patan mint myself, earlier this year. It just returned from PCGS. To my surprise,...
I've seen and admired your stuff over on CollectiveCoin. Every time a nice Hungarian coin appears in the new additions over there, I immediately...

I just bought one of the ones on this page (the $12.99 one, I think), since my old one died recently. Haven't tried the new one much just yet,...
PS- "Agathodæmon" just became my Word for the Day, so thanks for that. I'm not sure how thankful I am to have a certain Steve Miller tune stuck...
Here's Salus feeding a serpent, on the reverse of a sestertius of Crispina. [ATTACH]
Having once lobbed a rubber snake so that it would fall from the tree beneath which @Aethelred was stooped, digging a metal detecting target, and...
