That would be awesome. I'll admit I was tempted to bid, but didn't want to bid against my brother thumbsmashers. Keeping my fingers crossed for y'all. Duncan ...
Last night I uploaded a document to the document file of the sca_moneyer group. It is "excerpts from my draft revision of The Moneyers Handbook". The history...

Well, I'm so green that I haven't yet struck my own coin... but the upside is that I'm so green that I'm going to be around til I get my own coin struck. =) I...
I still enjoy my spot here-but would love to see Duncan fill a spot-he has a lot of computer time and has a deep motivation, and looks to be a part of our...
Why don't don't you folks submit the handbook to the complete anachronist? It seem to me to be any easy way to get it printed and disemminated widely. And it'd...
"So, did anyone here win the screw press? or anything else of interest? ~DH" Well Someone did :) But it wasn't me. I misunderstood when the auction closed on...
