    TIF Always learning.

    Savoca Blue does have some interesting coins, often hammering at good prices. You picked up a nice assortment, @britannia40 :). My favorite is the Apollo/crab.

    Quite! You are very much on your own with Savoca. They used to have a bad reputation, and may have improved quite a bit. But beware. You can find several stories on the internet.
