That's a handsome coin, @ro1974!
Preach it, brother @Ryro! This slabbed eyesore has had its price reduced to $108: [IMG] This raw one cost me $60. Slabs are ludicrous for coins...
Fantastic!!!
Dormouse left AND dormouse right! [IMG]
Well, I guess one could keep them in the bath tub! :D
Those are fun and interesting, @Sulla80! And great blog post!! Now I need a rat denarius.
