This is exactly the path I've taken recently, mostly because of my interest in Nabataean coins and the website I've set up. I want to acquire some...
I like it very much! It's an excellent example of the type, with the full lettering of the king and queen's names on the reverse, both busts, and...

I was Mr. McAfee in Bye Bye Birdie in high school, but that's the extent of my acting career. I looked through my entire collection and found...
I hope you carry.
The national Museum of Australia has a good overview of the original coins. Holey Dollar
Green, I'm assuming you carried that in your pocket with other coins and keys and such, right? That would account for the hits.
