Yep. Should’ve used nickels. Those would have been a better canvas for adding edge inscriptions.
All lovely. Wow. Now I want more sestertii (but who doesn’t?). All I presently have is a F+ Antoninus Pius.
You haven't missed much. A member named @MeowtheKitty insisted upon staying in character as a cat in his posts, and referring to himself in the...

More a self-slabbing entity than a legitimate TPG, I believe. Not a particularly reputable company, but I will say one thing for them: I once...
