OK, I have updated the "Misc Swapstock" page and it is now on a new page called "Pick Bin & Giveaway Goodies". The link in the original post...
Please forgive a little non-ancient nekkidness. Modern, but arguably neoclassical, and classy. France: silver jeton (insurance token) engraved...

Spintriae do not bother me personally but I think they might be a touch too explicit to fly here.
I'm glad the OP coin had a clean break, got repaired, and is being properly appreciated. At around 10% of the price of an undamaged piece, I...
I love the type in general and have been looking to get another like this some day. Had one once, with the typical greyish toning. The...
