My dawg is a Class II Group "O"

 

That's a wild and crazy coin, Steve, and I haven't seen that graphic before. I have now stolen it for my own use.

 

I have a couple of coins that "may" have led to the design (hmmm, curious eh?)

 

So have I Steve....I have to have one 'Celtic'--they are so wild!!

 

Great looking article Steve. I don't have time to read it now, but I've downloaded for later. Appreciate the link!

 

Nice one Steve! I love that stylized Celtic head on the obverse.


SWEET!!!

 

Outstanding little Bro. Nice addition.

 

Same as Stevex6's....I have less bacon but more comet. He has more eye I have more hair.

Yea Boy...good choice steve.

 

Nice! I want one of these too.

 

Gorgeous example, Noob ... yup, I've always loved your example

Cheers
