Ancient => Callin' all Syracuse Sicily Coins (it's sprue-time!!)

Just an artistic photoshop grouping of the coins. The center coin is an aureus. The largest coin in the group is the Syracuse dekadrachm.

More info on many of the coins in that picture can be found in AJ's thread http://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-ancient-gold-and-silver.222241/

Sweet ... well played, getting this ol' thread up-and-at-'em once again!!

TIF & Jango ... that kinda sounds like a sitcom from the 80's

 

More like a cheesy folk duo

 

These threads show the progression of my photography abilities - it's nice to look back and see that I've (hopefully) improved!!

 

Improved? Not sure I've ever seen a bad photo by you.

With coins like this, practicing your macro skills must be a joy!
