Hello all, I have added new coins for this series, with seriously low prices and new better pics. Like usual, I'm offering these in prime-time here for a week, afterwards those left unsold will be offered through other venues, so if you're interested please PM early. Also, I will reserve coins for you if needed. For posting, please add 5$ for Registered Mail, tracked and traced, also insurance is optional - let me know if you require it and I'll add it to the total. Enjoy: 1.
