Don't you think this would look cool with say another 6 or 7 dark litra beauties to go along with these two?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]827271[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]827272[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>However, Litra collecting might not be for everybody. Like their tiny bronze counterparts, these little coins are usually pretty dinged up or have other issues. You can see the ding on the boar and the surface corrosion on the obverse of my bird and crab combo, and flat spot on the crab shell. That's just something you are going to have to live with on these coins, unless you care to spend $500+ for a pristine minty sample.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
