I'm pretty sure that the only saint I have on coins is St. George, with the dragon, and it probably wouldn't be a great idea to post him in this...
My grandfather (from Berlin) gave me a sip of his beer when I was 3 years old. He thought it was funny; my mother wasn't happy. I remember not...
I'll see if something like that fits. I suppose that if it doesn't, I can always follow your suggestion and put the bull in a larger dome with one...
Yes, after reading people write about treating BD by putting it in various solutions for weeks at a time, a 1-minute immersion did seem rather...
Thank you. I ordered some 1-gram desiccant packs that ought to be small enough to fit one or two inside a 4-inch diameter glass dome, without...
