Great CRH find! I've gotten cent- (or nickel-) sized World coins when roll searching, but never a piece of World silver! WTG! I dunno if your...
What @spirityoda said. One must prioritize. Numismatics is the only hobby I spend money on, though that doesn't mean it's my only hobby. Others...

Cool! I have never had any RR bronze, and have only seen a few examples in cases at the shows I infrequently attended a decade ago. Can't say...
Cool! I have a hunch Minucius Thermus will be easier than this other Julius Caesar was?
