[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 3595413, member: 84744"]As [USER=90981]@Shea19[/USER] mentioned, though, there is a CNG tax. I recommend paying the subscription for acsearch. Use the advanced search string capabilities (excluding terms with "-", quotes for exact phrases etc.) and order the results by increasing price.

There are far fewer results for the antoniniani, consistent with RC's thoughts: [ATTACH=full]961356[/ATTACH] And then there's the no-crescent version, which might be thought of as a rather extreme illustration of the CNG tax. :D [ATTACH=full]961357[/ATTACH] ([USER=88829]@lrbguy[/USER], I don't really intend this as an answer to your questions, I'm sure you're well aware of the price searching options.
