<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3066675, member: 19463&quot;]We would never correct grammar of persons who do as well in English as you but since you asked for help, it would seem friendly to provide it. </p><p><br /></p><p>In English, &#039;who&#039; is used to refer back to a human but here we have the antecedent of non-human things so we would use &#039;that&#039; or &#039;which&#039; rather than &#039;who&#039;.&nbsp; Often when writing English that will be graded by a teacher who may be overly critical, it is better to avoid questions of agreement.&nbsp; &#039;Coins&#039; can be taken as the plural of coin so the verb in agreement would be &#039;make&#039; as you used.&nbsp; However, &#039;testimony&#039; is singular so the verb would be &#039;makes&#039;.&nbsp; Any question here could be avoided by saying&nbsp; &#039;coins are testimonies which make&#039;.&nbsp; This is not as much an error as going out of the way to avoid an over zealous grader of papers from finding faults.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know no French beyond what is necessary to read Cohen so I have no idea how many of these minor language quirks also exist in French.&nbsp; 99% of English speakers are not bothered by little things like this but I have an 18 year old friend who owns a T-shirt that says, &quot;I am silently correcting your grammar.&quot;&nbsp; The shirt does not lie.&nbsp; When I am speaking to her, I am much more careful than when posting on Coin Talk.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome!&nbsp; I know everyone has already said this but I most certainly do like that Galba denarius very much.&nbsp; I have wanted one like it for years!&nbsp; I wonder how many of us here on Coin Talk realize just how nice this one is compared to most of the type offered on the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
