Hey Donna, I am sorry to hear that you are cat-less at the moment (hopefully, you'll allow additional cats to fill your life with love?

Steve replied to Restitutor's topic in General
Nice => there are some great unlikeable-comments in this thread, gang ... well done!! 😉 Ummm, I like "most" ancient coins ... but I will always choose an animal-reverse, or an animal hiding "somewhere" on a coin, over a coin without an animal => Animal coins rock!! 😎 Cheers, coiners- 93 replies
