Hey, I need a quick ruling ... oh, not really a "moderator-ruling" ... but merely a coin-gang ruling ...
=> ummm, is it okay for me to add-in some sort of coin-tribute every now and then? (
man, I love my ol' coins and I get all cry-baby-eyed whenever I sell some of my favourites!)
... anyway ...
That last gallery-addition got me a
bit weirded-out (I've always loved that humble coin) ...
Ummm, so here is a quick "THESSSALY" recap ... yah, Thessaly was always one of my very favourite coin-types!! (super-old, horses, and fricken cool reverses ... a total winner side-avenue, eh?)
