“… This listing may have errors…“ If I were single, I might use that in my Tinder profile: “6’5” 21-year-old billionaire with six-pack abs...
Wow. That’s pretty good repair work. The scary thing to me is how the goldsmith reproduced the obliterated lettering. It’s pretty much...
If it’s small, it might be more like a pomander— essentially a personal fashion item filled with aromatic spices. More like personal perfume...
Looks like a medieval censer to me. [ATTACH]
Yes. You turned me on to Wise, and that’s what I have used it ever since for the few auctions I participate in. Have the app on my phone. Never a...

Mine is 25 mm. 27 is indeed large. [ATTACH]
I didn’t have any big targets this time, but I did win five coins from the pick bin I was happy to get. It crossed off some LRBs from my wish...
