Yah, I'm not at all religious so I wasn't sure if this puppy should be here (
Judaean coins) or whether it'd feel more at
home over in the
Roman coin world?
=> either way, this coin is mighty
fine, yes? (yah, I fell in love with this puppy at first sight ... a sweet
eagle and a cool mountain with a clubhouse!! => I'm in!!)
... I
hope that you coiners like it as well ...
Cheers (I love you guys)
