Well, silver's certainly nice. That one must've been minted during Mengistu Haile Mariam's rule. His was a communist military junta that ran...
Thanks for sharing Siberian Man. Here's the "Lamb catalogue" that features these French tokens for sale:...
Lighting was a "single diffuse light source?" Do you use a light box of some kind? I've seen ring-type flashes that go around the outside...
VERY clear and sharp corner-to-corner images! I wonder if you can get the same result with a digital microscope? [ATTACH]
My poor brain!
That's RIGHT!
Why would a doctor work on a cat's leg to spay her? Isn't the...uh..ahem, "plumbing" on the other end of the cat? I think the vet ripped you...
Hey, even selling bullion gets boring. They just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention. YOU were paying attention. Now where's your free...

Could you explain the different items represented in the design? I see a thistle bulb, an aloe plant, and a shamrock. Oh, and a crown. I get...
I wish I could go someday. I'd love to run out of money before seeing them all... Usually, I leave a coin show with the same amount of money...
I wonder what the "new Liberty" will look like? Will she look like that one design someone shared here at CT, the one that looks like Angelina...
But isn't the surface preparation for the planchets of proof coins different than business strikes?
