Ha! Look! Old postcards from the Golden Buddha in Sarasota, from around the same era when my grandmother used to take me there! I found an old...
It's just a little dinky thing. But lovely, I think.
OK, yeah, I've been on a bit of a spree. Two pieces of gold in 24 hours, neither of which I expected to win. I'm into this one for about 2x spot,...
What a great design! It rather reminds me of this much later (18th C.) one from Holland: [ATTACH] Image source: NGC
(Another belated response) You make me pine for my old Aethelred II penny, which I sold back to its original owner last year. I considered it...
