[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3004832, member: 56859"]Wow, what a gorgeous Myrina tet! Your out-of-plastic images are wonderful :) I dislike the practice of encapsulating ancient coins but I do respect the knowledge of both Vagi and Murphy. Plastic doesn't stop me from buying a coin if the price is right, but they don't stay slabbed for long.
