<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2315179, member: 4298&quot;]I second that : as often Doug says it better than others do (at least me). The more you specialize, the more you come across rarities (you know more than others) and the less you spend to acquire them (in a relative sense, according to their absolute rarity and the lack of demand). I too have coins that are the only surviving example (to date, that counts too), and even a gold one that I&#039;ve shown previously. But who cares about Dombes ? Should they be french royal or early american instead of french feudal, they would be worth in the 10-100K range, instead of what, lucky me when it comes to buy them, you can remove two zeros</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that said MZ, your two additions are very nice, I like very much the inspired portrait on the Fausta.
