I know, I know... It's been quite a while since I've sent you one of my newsletter updates. I was surprised to learn that nearly all of the coins from the last upload had been sold because honestly, I thought they would take longer to sell. Maybe I shouldn't underestimate demand for ancient coins online...
But better late than never, and I think this last batch will be worth your while. We have 20 coins for you in total and even a video that will allow you to look at some of them under a different lens. And more will be coming soon...
