Actually, they have stopped painting them. They found out that the pain protected the original carving from wear, while the fields around would...
I don’t have a lot to add to this discussion, but I thought I’d show a pic from yesterday. I was out walking near a rock carving site from what...
I second Ryro here. Happy birthday!
Wow, Parthicus! Congratulations! I have always wanted a Caesar portrait coin, but never wanted to pay what they cost. You did, and good for you! :)
Congrats! I think I would be able to live with that hole too. Sometimes you have to live with less than perfect coins, and take, as you say, what...
