Hey, some posts- and nice coins- are timeless, right? :) I’m frequently posting stuff I owned 10 or even 15-20 years ago. Such is the revolving...
And you’d need sunglasses to look at his stuff without searing your retinas! :watching::greedy:
Those are indeed cool, but I personally wouldn’t have the first idea how to distinguish an authentic piece from a modern fake or fantasy (which I...
