    I like the grey tone on that one, @Orfew.

    @lordmarcovan there should be a "spectaclar" button for your coin. Yes, I am a Capricorn as it happens.

    I really like the type and like your new example, Pish.

    I’ve no doubt I’d like mine better if I were a Capricorn, but as it is, I like it plenty. :)

    Another really handsome one, @zumbly! Nice color, centering, etc. I quite like it.

    Thanks, LordM. Yours is the one that really sets the bar, though.
