DrLarry Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 a friend and myself noticed about a year ago that there were suddenly so many of this lozenge shaped siege pieces that suddenly appeared that they must be being reproduced. Hey and I am no way or he an expert so one would expect anyone willing to spend such money would have a clue or bit of a clue. There are sharks out there and there is a general deficit in integrity Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 I don't spend that much and I still make sure I don't get hoodwinked. Maybe that old saying is true. "More money than sense". Quote
