Whiskers theres no such thing as an "ugly Reales".
Thanks to all for the comments on the bullion but now I can concentrate on what I really want to and thats collecting. The bullion, pretty as it is, is just there to keep the lights on.
Maybe Rome after I get done pinning all the fascist powers for their crimes. And I'd love more MSD's and maybe some treasure coins.
You know as an American Policeman "retired" I despise fascism and the power of a Govt. to crush the individual. Believe it or not almost all of us do, they crush us the most. I spent 18 mos in Martial Law Turkey under arms and that brother was "real" fascism, just in case anyone actually believes we have it here.
The Turk Army, Police, and far right para-military groups actually arrested over 650,000 mostly adult males out of a overall total population of 20 million Turks and they put 230,000 on trial in front of Military tribunals. No probable cause, no warrants, no Judges, no Legal system, just a bench of Army Generals passing sentence in trials mere minutes long. They hanged some, they put many in terrible prisons under awful conditions, and many they just made go <poof>. They disapeared them.https://www.turkiyetoday.com/turkiy...story-51854/
So my time as a USAF MP in Turkey during that turbulent era as well as my lifelong study of modern History, armed conflicts, and the World War's, are the reasons behind my wall.
The world must NEVER forget the innocent victims and I'll do as much as I can to make sure they dont.
