Don't have any coins with a pileus yet. Nice examples folks!
I have bought from many outlets on vcoins and m-a shops, as well as FSR Coin (Frank Robinson), John Anthony, Forum Ancient Coins once in awhile,...
I don't really "believe" in ancient aliens at all. At the same time, I think other life in the universe probably exists, even though we have not...
