I agree with you most of the time about white backgrounds. That's my least favorite of the three simpler options shown here, but they can have...

Pan. (Or a satyr, anyway.) Next: griffin, or fish. (Extra credit for sturgeon.) Greece (Thrace, Pantakapaion): bronze Æ21, ca. 310-303 BC [ATTACH]
They're Heeeere! 'Course I've still gotta print up holders of some kind and prepackage 'em before I'm ready to start distributing them. But...

Common coins, but not bad. Silver is always nice. Welcome. As mentioned, pick up a copy of the Redbook- you can find it at pretty much any...
I did have the pleasure of owning this ex-Randall Hoard beauty for a while. At less than one-tenth the price of the coin in the OP. (PCGS MS62...
