Nice photos! Thank you for posting them. The archaic owl group looks especially interesting, apparently a hoard with a preponderance from what...
I just saw earlier tonight this interesting segment on the BBC World News about a Roman gold coin, previously thought to be fake is authentic...
Well, better late than never. At least the mission is still in progress. I thought it would be fun to pair up a thaler that I have, from...
