Was this cleaning electrolysis or Lemon Juice and a 9 Volt Battery?

No, no, no!

 

Hydrochloric acid and a car battery?

 

Gods, perish the thought.

 

Eye of newt and the blood of a virgin sacrificed at the harvest moon?

 

As Eng said Pishpash..." Like day and night"!!-----

All posts are great....but the last few jump out at me...and the winners are: Doug and Bing!!

Mine is about the same as many of the others but seems to lack that certain extra pizz-zazz and eye appeal that Dougs and Bings have....

Bing, you're not the bridesmaid in this case LOL

 

GREAT CAESARS GHOST!!! Bing, you've put on weight and grew a beard!!! LOL

That image is hysterical!!

 

Yeah well here is Steve as one of my brides maids:

 

=> one of your stinkin' bride's maids!!? => who the hell is your Maid of Honor?!!

... or Maid of Horror, in this case

 

Nice job done Pishpash
Nice Gordian III's guys
...and nice brides overall

Q

 

Super post, Cucumber!!!!

I have a few denarii, but I now seem to be drawn more and more to the large bronzes---like your sestertius--- as most people seem to...not to mention Tets!!

Congrats!!

 

Love the portrait on the GIII tet. The art work is lifelike.

 

Cucumbor => wow, I love your sweet eagle reverse (sure, although the eagle reverses may not be that rare => I love it when the sweet ol' eagle has awesome feather definition and/or a super-cool tough-guy stance!!)

=> in this case, your coin is bringin' both!! (awesome ... I love it)

 

My new gordian iii tet. is in my mailbox, just havent gone to get it yet. But its not as nice as yours!
