Lets not miss the point that enables me to enjoy my form of the hobby as I practice it. The market does not always reflect the interest I would...
Don't forget to sign up for all the Senior discounts you now have coming. I don't know if you can get 10% off a doghouse or not but in fifty...
[ATTACH] My worn coin demonstrates how this type benefits from being less than perfectly centered. Until I saw yours I never noticed the...
Second is an as of Geta and also quite scarce. Fabric suggests it may be what they call a 'Cast in Gaul' unofficial but that would require seeing...
[ATTACH] No, that's the easy one if you accept lower grade ones like mine. I want one like his Dioscuri/prow coin Fonteia 7 or 8. There are...
