Very nice style. Its so good it seems you would recognize old Antiochus walking down the street. :)
Btw, since I am posting, just wanted to touch base on the silver market changes in the last few weeks. 1. A couple of months ago, "silver would...
Ok, I lasted over three weeks, but I have to talk about this assertion you make over and over. Let's look at this data: New silver mined is 787...
Have to agree. Its weird they would make this fake so thick when the originals are thin. Its usually the other way around.
Do you happen to know why Empresses of this period got set on a crescent? Was there some kind of meaning to that? I have always wondered. Nice...
