@crockpics Love Zappa, Trouble Everyday is still as relevant as the day it was written.

@KirkSealls @archeohistories I wouldn't want it any other way. Ancient historians did not always care about the truth. A good historian studies the source and assesses validity and lets the reader know their assessment of the sources in commentary.

I need to work on the next newsletter soon, but first, a reminder about this fortnight's #MysteryCoin - it is a small round silver-coloured coin with "50" in a striped square, CENTAVOS below & "50" in small braille dots below that.  Where / when might it be from? #Numismatics

@Aliathewhite @Frankrypto @GShitler17920 You want attention and it makes you feel good...it also makes you feel good to troll and piss people off...but it is so easy ..what do you actually offer to this world of any value?

[Cache Coins @CacheCoins]

@GShitler17920 @Aliathewhite Take a break. You deserve it after a long day of attention whoring and trolling. here is a little more attention for you....

[Cache Coins @CacheCoins]

@Aliathewhite Exactly what you wanted. Tell me....do you do this because you have nothing else to show to get the attention you crave? Trolling Nazi swill will always bring attention...if you can't offer anything else. You have followers!!

[Cache Coins @CacheCoins]

@Kwasuzi Nice! I just acquired one of these myself.

These were produced by the Heaton or Birmingham mint. Very well done.

[Cache Coins @CacheCoins]

@Aliathewhite Look, a Nazi trolling .. looks like someone is desperate for attention....we see you.

@OgDrewP @acnewsitics Many Germans said the same thing after world war I, after the creation of the German nation state. They also said that just being born in Germany and serving in the war wasn't enough.
