Okay, here's another one. This one from Uruguay. Used to be a kind of tough coin, then an enormous hoard hit the market about 20 years ago and...
If ever there was a battle that marked the final nail in the coffin of the Spanish Empire, the defeat at the Battle of Ayacucho would have to be...
Anyone else collect tiny countries and republics? Can't collect from all of them, --I have been concentrating on Liechtenstein and San Marino....
Another one from Ponterio's NYINC offerings, --this one far nicer than the grade indicates in my opinion. These Montenegro issues seem to show-up...
