I love this! Praying mantises are my favorite insect.
Shoot, for only $7,000 let's all get one!
Yes, I do aim for the complete date series with varying levels of success. I have most of the British coins from about 1900 (not including gold...
I wonder this a lot on these threads but I don't want to be mean.
That's neat. It's too bad about the family member, but it's a neat way to get coins. My collection actually started with coins my dad and great...
I've been scanning my NZ coins to post online and I see I have a couple that need upgrades. So the holes are filled for now but I would like to...
