There is a document which can be found in the internet which documents the effect of exposing copper to the presence of acetone. Acetone will...
I don't know, C-B-D. Weren't you the guy who bought a whole bucht of FE cents for a small fraction of what they were worth?

Here is another sestertius of Vitelllius. This one is a much scarcer type than PAX, but in very well-worn condition. Vitellius. AD 69. Æ...

I can speak, write, and even swear fluently in four languages: english, german, spanish and french. At home we speak at least 3 of those on a...
Thank you, all, for your opinions. Much appreciated. My own estimation is VF25. The reverse a little better as some mentioned, but the obverse...
