Art on Offer (no numismatic connection)
Presence of an image on this site does not imply current ownership.
Many images are presented with permission from other sites or from online auctions.
There is more pleasure in the hunting and history than in the having.
I take a 'catch and release' approach, where ownership is transient.
Any coins currently owned are kept in a safe deposit box.
