A question about coin marking.
« on: March 03, 2011, 11:13:32 am »
I recently purchased a coin of Nero that someone has stamped with the initials "WRL." Is anyone familiar with what these initials signify? Are they from an earlier collector or a museum perhaps?

Thanks

Nothing will deter me from collecting Roman Imperial coins - I am already heavily invested in the hobby.

Not even your spouse?  ;)

No. Not even my wife. I've convinced her it's a savings account. You know what they say about old money being the best money.
