<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3800390, member: 75525&quot;]My wife and I visited London and the Shetland Islands in late Sept and early Oct. While in London, I previewed Roma Numismatics&#039; AUCTION XVIII. I had a great time looking at their cast bronze offerings. A few hammered in my price range, including LOT 776.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1014735[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1014736[/ATTACH] </p><p>Anonymous Cast Æ Semis.
