The 1558 Lithuanian coin (Prize #1 in the OP) arrived yesterday. I opened the package and had a quick peek at it. However, I was in a hurry to...

Artificially patinated. ;)
AT or not, that's beautiful, and you really make it shimmy nicely!
Aha! I see I'm not the only person to have shot photos over the kitchen stove! :hilarious:
