Q

 

LOL, those lips are pretty scary... a punch for the chin, three whacks on the punch for the lips, and a misaligned whack on the punch for the nose! LOL, lazy die-cutter!

But you, have great detail and centering!

 

I like this site! Everyone is pretty laid back and listens to some cool music. Stevex6's post, Post your Favourite coin and *Favourite tune* , took hours to read and listen to.

"Temnos was a little town of Aeolia, near the Hermus River, which is shown on its coins. Situated at elevation it commanded the territories of Cyme, Phocaea, and Smyrna. Under Augustus it was already on the decline; under Tiberius it was destroyed by an earthquake; and in the time of Pliny it was no longer inhabited. It was however rebuilt." -Wiki
