Hi and thanks for your interest in this item.
My concept is to offer interesting coins at a good value with a fixed buy it now price that I consider from collecting experience to be competitive and fair.
I am a professional sculptor and painter of commissioned murals and portraits.
I sculpted the 9 1/2 foot tall bronze Saint Paul statue that is in the Cathedral of Saint Paul, MN, and also painted
what is likely the largest mural by an individual artist in the Twin Cities. I started collecting ancient coins about 18
years ago as a way to study and improve my skills at bas-relief sculpting with these miniature masterpieces in hand.
I am happy to answer any questions regarding this item....and
please see my other items for sale.
