I recently acquired this rather scarce and interesting coin which came with some great old collector tags. The sale had a forward about the...
Nicely done, TIF!! We need to add this pressed nightmare. [ATTACH]
I still need one with snakes. It's one of those coins requiring compromises and mine is a wee hint of porosity. [ATTACH]
Here are mine. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Good for you, Jamesicus!
I'm currently traveling around Scandanavia with poor internet access but wanted to share some amazing pics of a bust of Pompey Magnus (The Great)...

Just to complicates our lives a bit more, that coin that Bing posted is tooled. I wouldn't have guessed until I saw a before picture below,...
Sexy Silanus!
