Oh, I love that, and somehow have never heard it before. It's kind of like "don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things". LOL

Aha. Another "revolving door" collector! Glad I'm not the only one. My "Box of 20" (soon to expand to -25) constantly evolves, and nice coins...
I knew this was gonna be a trip down memory lane that spanned a few decades, when I saw a title like "my first Roman Republican coin" from...
Dunno. They weren't on my radar (and certainly not my college-aged budget!) 30 years ago. I only just "discovered" them a few years ago, seeing...
Thanks. High praise, coming from you. Yes, I saw there was a wonderful variety of designs, but many seem to be off-center. In the less...

And I'm late in thanking you for your reply. I appreciate your reading this.
Fascinating! This I had not heard. Hmm... let's see. I thought I had Charles I on my old Holey Coin Vest. I did, but apparently no longer have...
It would be pretty educational, and the nice thing about becoming a type collector versus a date-and-mint collector is that your set is...
Same-same, but with a bezel. Still Panama, 1947. [IMG]
Welcome! I too had a posthumous Alexander tetradrachm from Temnos; just like your avatar but not as high grade. Impressively large things those...
