I collect this 'odd' series...

Haha, have never thought of those as odd - they were just the coppers that weighed down my pockets when I was a kid on my way to the candy store

Very interesting!

My policy of "if it doesn't fit in a 2x2 I don't really want it" precludes me from getting the extremely odd numismatic items. I think the "oddest" piece I have on file is this one (sorry, I don;t have a pic of the obverse). It's a very-debased-silver stater issued by the Coriosolite refugees on Jersey, a Celtic tribe who were trying to flee from the Roman invasion of mainland Gaul.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
