Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 10:14 am Martin I think its more than worth a few installments. It would certainly be a crown in many collections. I am always envious of your coins. You truly have great taste weather it be Greek or Roman or somewhere in between. Report this Post to the Staff
