I see you already have a spot reserved for your new favorite! Amazing coins.
True, definitely a relaxed atmosphere here, whereas Forvm is more formal. I've noticed your absence at FAC, Carthago. I'm sorry so many have...
I've been there for years and I haven't found it like that (I've also openly disagreed with Joe on more than one occasion). There are very...
