<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1717023, member: 15445&quot;]Hello CoinTalkers,</p><p><br /></p><p>I am preparing to post my new ancient Greek coins.&nbsp; :thumb: Yes, I have acquired another (two) ancient Greek coins bringing my total up to ten coins.&nbsp; I’m hoping to receive both coins in the mail by the weekend.&nbsp; The anticipation is a FUNdamental part of coin collecting.&nbsp; If they don’t arrive promptly, then I always have the seller’s photos to post. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the mean time, I have a question ---&gt;&nbsp; :nerd:&nbsp; Do we know when ancient coin engravers first begin to use optical magnification or some type of reduction apparatus?&nbsp; I’ve only read a couple ancient coin books &amp; there has not been much information provided.&nbsp; I would like to know how some ancient pieces came to have some very fine details.&nbsp; Were the good engravers believed to be very nearsighted or did they have some technological help?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
