That looks great @Deacon Ray ! As has been said often you have a great talent for these types of presentations! Even the subtleties like realistic shadowing is well done. Hahah I'll add my Fortuna Redux Sestertius to the thead.
Great presentation. I like to show some of my cast pieces on pages of Garrucci or plates from Haeberline.
@rrdenarius —Your collection of ancient currency and early minting techniques is amazing! I've never seen anything like it. It goes far beyond the term—coin collecting!
