I'm quite sure Peter is already aware of it since he is the one and only person who could have set it up to begin with. And if he's quit or...
@Insider I think you need to look at that again - there are 147 people who follow ME ! I myself do not follow anybody, not even 1.
Didn't even know CT was on Twitter ! 'Course I couldn't know that since I don't have a smart phone :)
And that's no where near long enough ! :D
You are more than welcome Conrad, but the pleasure was all mine ! And you should be quite proud, you studied hard, did a lot of work, and...
The rim IS a high relief area, it is the highest relief area there is, on all coins ! As for the other, you can look it up as easily as I did.

I thought the relationship was rather obvious - the pattern, it's identical. Now I knew you already knew that, but that there are many others...
