We can hope, can't we? :rolleyes:

A good start! I don't think I'll ever tire of these coins. If you post obverse/reverse of the coins you need help with, someone here can...

Not directly, no. But I do play the stock-market game online. My portfolio centers around gold investment and mining interests, so I can usually...
I always felt bad for the Julio-Claudians. Caligula and Nero gave them such a bad rap, but Claudius and Tiberius were actually pretty good rulers....

King George II of England died on Oct 25, 1760 and his son George III inherited the throne the same day. This is likely an unofficial coronation...
Its what you use to drill a hole if you play a lot of billiards. ........:whistle:
