    I couldn't resist this one. The centering of the imagery is better than any in my collection.

    Hi Deacon Ray. First of all, I really admire the way you photograph your coins. Looks so professional. And your coin is delicious! Scrumptious!

    Second....never mind. I think I misunderstood about the year 3. I need to read about that, too.

    Awesome coin. I love the Jewish series but I can't buy everything.

    @Deacon Ray do you have your collection online? I'd like to see what a biblical / Judean collection looks like.

    Greg—I don't have it online yet—but give me a couple of days and I'll layout a poster that shows my collection. I've been meaning to do that for a while now and your question has inspired me to follow through on it.
