Those are some gorgeous coins!
We had a lot of fun with the last one a couple of months ago, so here's another. The nice postlady just dropped it off. She keeps bringing me...
Well that's unfortunate.
I have a discussion of whizzed surfaces, and show a whizzed coin, in my discussion about surfaces, here:...

Really cool thread with some really nice coins! I would really like to see more Greek ones (I like those types). Anyone have any more Greek...
