Everyone will have their own favorites when it come to style. The transitionals like AJ are what I'd call the finest art but I really would like...
Is this 'robust'? [ATTACH]
Coin collectors always like unworn and well struck coins. A smaller number care about matters of style. I do not know enough about Hadrian to...
