I don't have any of the coins you have, but I particularly like the fact that you have an EL 1/48 stater and an Aegenitian stater. I really want both, but they are expensive.

But now I have much fewer things that I could sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also wanted so say something else, something I've been wanting to say for many months, though I've never got around to it: When viewed from my mobile device, you have the most beautiful avatar design I have ever seen.
