Looks like you've covered a lot of territory with your new pickups Steve...Portugal, Italy, France, U.S., and U.K. Believe it or not I think I like the first coin the best even though it's seen better days. The history it could tell. Buying a few new coins will always make you feel a bit better. Bruce

Some interesting coins there! And several that I know nothing about, hehe, but which look good. Seems you are building a collection with a wide scope. Oh, and one technical question - why is one of the attachments (994446.jpg) in #2 "Pending Approval"? C'mon, show us the raunchy pieces too. Christian
