    Ummm JA, I hope because these comments are coming from me, you're knowing that I'm merely joking with you ...

    => hey, I would still adopt that sweet cat (ummm, it'll merely have a different role in the ol' pecking order, that's all)

    You know, I can't help but see both lions at the same time now. It's an optical illusion coin. You never know what's going to happen on this forum, lol.

    Speaking of which, I went to a very small coin show this morning. One dealer actually had four trays of ancients, but they were harshly-cleaned, worn, corroded, and otherwise undesirable, not to mention grossly overpriced. It's like eBay grew a pair of legs and set up a table. The guy was so pleased with himself for having some ancients for sale that I didn't have the heart to say anything.

    I did walk away with some Hard Times and Civil War Tokens, however, and I'm just going to post them here for now. After some study and research, I'll do a write-up for the US Coins forum.

    Here's a larger CWT, but not quite as big as a large cent. This business confuses me a little. Taxidermy and fine glass? So I can bring dearly departed Fido in to get stuffed and displayed in a glass case? Now THAT's one-stop shopping!

    (I'm pretty sure I got this critter's head facing the right direction.)

    I don't think it's a matter of corrosion or else. Just watch this.. Lleft.jpg

    I like it now that it is oriented correctly. I can tell what I'm looking at (I have no imagination).
