I agree Winged. Nice coins. I think they are all good coins, I was going for a little less pricey and easier to afford. The thing is, US coins...
^This, and buy a few fresh rounds and leave them unprotected. Unprotected fresh silver will tarnish first and protect the other coins. Another...
The schyphates are another interesing case. Usually you would assume the emperor was the obverse, but then again its Christ on the domed side. I...

I don't find collecting any coins morally repulsive in themselves. The only way I would view it would be if by my act of collecting I helped...
