<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8220739, member: 110226&quot;]I&#039;ve been trying to cut down on the coin purchases due to a big tax bill coming up, so my recent acquisitions have been comparatively modest.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bit the bullet and purchased a leftover owl from Roma.&nbsp; This is yet another controversial coin, lot 679 from E-Sale 90. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.romanumismatics.com/catalogue_images/auction/xlarge/4001.372.12_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From a more recent auction, I went a little off the beaten path and acquired a Swedish copper plate money.&nbsp; The way I look at it, this chunk of copper might actually eventually replace bitcoin.&nbsp; The way I see it, people will realize that all that energy needed to create cryptocurrency is helping to&nbsp; spin the world&#039;s climate over a cliff.&nbsp; Why not just use these copper plates?&nbsp; They&#039;re tangible for sure!&nbsp; Just drop an 8 daler plate money (14.5kg) on your foot and you&#039;ll know.&nbsp; Let&#039;s get back to hard assets.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a mere 1/2 daler copper plate money, of Charles XII, dated 1716, minted during the Northern Wars (1655-1721) with Russia, Denmark and some other folks fighting Sweden for control of the Baltic.&nbsp; Peter I of Russia prevailed, ensuring Russian dominance in the Baltic region. Sound familiar?&nbsp; History does come full circle, sometimes more than once.</p><p><br /></p><p>This copper plate money weighs a mere 371.51 grams.&nbsp; Pocket change.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.romanumismatics.com/catalogue_images/auction/xlarge/11014.4.22_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
