<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2519099, member: 76194&quot;]This is not really a very pretty coin. I would say it&#039;s pretty beat up, rough, and a bit of a pig really... but I&#039;ve been looking at it for months and it&#039;s sort of grown on me, kind of how the ugly duckling grew on you as a child even though he was ugly. I think there is just something about Apollo&#039;s serious expression that sort of got to me eventually.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do apologize, I know this write up is not my usual cheerful style. It&#039;s a bit of a downer really. It&#039;s not the coin, it&#039;s just been one of those long days.&nbsp; Anyway, post whatever coin you feel like posting below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]536823[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>C.
