A fourree is not just an ancient imitation but one where the flan was made with a precious metal outer shell over a more base core. Most are...
Let me understand. You prefer a common Roma and chariot to a Juno and bull. There is no M. Lucius Rufus but I assume you refer to Lucilius Rufus...
I'm sure someone out there is buying archival and acid free holders to store the coins they just treated with Deller's Darkener. I suspect some...
