As mentioned, there are just too many good restaurants in Lima, but one that I really like (even if it is not in the top 10) is Jose Antonio. They...
I finally got around to taking decent pictures of my 1804 cent. There is only one die variety for the cents of 1804, Sheldon 266. Sheldon 266 is...

Congratulations, Andrew, in obtaining a coin for your collection that means so much to you!:). Very nice. (I guess it is similar with me with...
