    Beautiful piece Matt . I'm trying to get a set of early Mexican Federal silver coins , though some escudos would be a nice addition . Though I'm waiting for gold to get to $400 oz. 1st . lol

    You mean like the ancient Greeks did too. The pileus, or Phrygian cap. :)

    Yep !!!!! We inherited a lot of good things from the Greeks . That's how humans learn most things . I wonder if the Greeks were the 1st recorded use of the Phrygian cap or if they in turn learned it from an even earlier group .
