I would say you have to be EXTREMELY careful of the environment you keep that coin in. It could turn in a heartbeat. It could already be corrosion...
I wish I could make it to FUN this year, but most likely 2022. My wife does not want to NEAR an airplane yet.
I agree its a cool piece, but I would not assume it was made for spying. These were made this way centuries before to keep drawings of loved ones,...
I think the entire ancient coin section are populated with classical history nerds. :) We have most areas covered here, lots of Greek experts,...
Lol, its a tiny amount of copper. I do not think the US has ever made electrum coinage.
