Exactly. That’s what this place is all about. :)
Seleucid silver. [ATTACH] Next: Seleucid again, silver or bronze, with either nice cabinet toning or attractive patina.
We’re totally in agreement on that point. [ATTACH] But what can I say; times were lean in the Recession, and a hat covered in holey gold coins...
Speaking of floor sweepers, when one of us dropped a coin under the table at the show, I had the random thought about what the actual floor...
