[QUOTE="Black Friar, post: 3971513, member: 76221"]To To FurryFrog, we are the black sheep of the ancient family. Wear the badge proudly. I don't know of anyone else in my state that collects them and I've been looking since'83. The only one I knew of was and still is a dealer and he has stopped collecting what he sells. The price for fame and glory. I have attached two of my most recent acquisitions purchased at a local show for peanuts I'm proud to say...shame on me; I have confessed my many sins. The Justin II half follis was struck by a military mint in Italy. I have just started investigating this very interesting series that a chap from Great Britain has written about and has collected for a long time. The 1/2 tet is a beauty and for this series is about as good as one can get. I might have posted these earlier on a different thread, possibly the "show me your newest acquisitions." Both were purchased for under $50. I would have paid more. Sorry about the over sharpening of the images. Happy New Year to all.[/QUOTE]
