Yeah... while on that topic, can somebody tell me why this silver coin type has the SC? First I can recall seeing. PS- no- wait- I remember,...
In 2013, I did another big purge and sold off pretty much all of my old collections, rolling them into the present "Eclectic Box of 20" which I am...

@Orfew- that was the major selling point for me as well. Be sure to check out the alternate photos. Though technically rather modest in grade,...
@stevex6- "coinpliments" is a most excellent word, and should be included in the Oxford English Dictionary, I say! The (six?) ancients I posted...

@Eaglefawn, yours is exactly the kind of detailed compliment I like to receive. It made my week. Thank you. :shame: Limiting one's self always...
