So I was going through some photos from Jan 2016 and ran across some pix I took in the National Archaeological Museum of Venice, right on the...
Interesting thread. I'm changing my storage system from clear flips to Lighthouse coin trays, aka "Lightboxes." I'm having to overhaul my...
Message me your address. I'll pick out a couple and send them your way. No charge. I can't let Deacon Ray be the only do-gooder around here.
Nothing against your toes, Odomax. But when I get them together I'll just put them on ebay and update this thread. Who knows? You might do better...
