Thanks Ken, your old eyes are better than mine:) I checked out Soley in Rulau's catalog, and while he's listed there, your tokens aren't. The...
Sorry steph, just as Idhair says...someone with some time on his hands. Does remind me of Irish protest coins though. It was pretty common in...
Very nice fretboard. While I don't know anything about Soley's work, I do know that both buildings are still standing today. They're well...
Beautiful FlorinVolante. The reverse is especially nice. How do you grade it? Bruce

Great story willieboyd. What a hardship that must have been, if for no other reason than figuring out what was acceptable as money. Thanks for the...
Nice Steve. I love signed copies...especially first editions...of reference books. I have a couple myself, one from Dave Bowers. Bruce
