Hmm. SloMo is a good idea but in your video it feels too slow, or perhaps there just wasn't enough motion. The net effect was hypnotic though....
The authentication and guarantee issues have been discussed before. There is no need for Barry to repeat himself every few months when the search...
I would like to believe that but feel we should always continue to push back against slabs.

I agree with the others-- any portrait coin of JC is a good thing to have :). Given a choice though I'd prefer one like your new coin or a DICT...
