<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2217125, member: 19463"]Sometimes after looking at a coin for a quarter century we can see things that may be hidden from a more casual observer. My wife does not see things in half of my coins that I consider obvious. I'm writing a new page for my website that includes a discussion of the coin below. My strange request is for anyone with free time or interest to tell me what you see in this photo. I will tell you that this is an AE28 of Akragas in Sicily but what I want to know is what other eyes see. You may use terms like beautiful and ugly or even nice, unusual and garbage but none of these will do me any good compared to descriptions of details or the 'why' behind your judgments of merit. </p><p> </p><p>Please, feel free to post your better examples of exactly the same type or any trivia in your brain just dying to escape.
