[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 8312174, member: 84744"]Seems to be loading better now. I think the coin that most impressed me was the Flamininus portrait stater. Now, I freely admit I probably have a thing against billionaires (especially ones who make their money from selling drone software etc. to the military), but this struck me as icky and tasteless: [ATTACH=full]1471399[/ATTACH] Really? That's the feature he picked to sum up the collection? :meh: (This is the site banner, and it appears on the covers of all the brochures he's selling too.) Not only that, but it contains a spelling mistake: a missing apostrophe. :rolleyes: Also I would expect a billionaire to have a [I]very[/I] extensive record of philanthropy. I can find nothing in this vein about Dan O'Dowd... I hope I'm wrong and would be overjoyed to be corrected. But given how self-aggrandizing his websites are, I'm doubtful that the absence of a philanthropic public record is due to him keeping that kind of thing private. So overall? Not impressed.[/QUOTE]
