this week I been a little busy but I did managed to pick up a copper coin from  the 3nd century roman empire, and 2 modern silver coins a  2016 1 oz. Australian year of the monkey coin and a 2013 1 oz. Canadian wood bison coin. also this week I went to a small used book store that I've never been to and found a copy of R. Scott Carlton's 1996 International encyclopedic dictionary of numismatics published by Krause publications in very good like new condition. and I am still reading the books that I borrowed from the ANA library. well until next time good luck in all your collecting pursuits.
