I think so too, and I feel a bit bad about it.
@Nvb, I also tried but failed to acquire your Ptolemy I satrapal tet.
I love it! Great centering, great detail, and the test cut is perfectly placed so as to not interfere with devices. Test cuts add to the story...
I picked up your Macedonian facing mask of Silenos. Already had 3 of them but just can't resist the type :D. The coin arrived a few days ago and...
