[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 1682549, member: 44140"][b]Tyche Bold and Inhand...[/b] Ah yes with the coin in hand, I can confirm it is much better then pictures can let on. Here I tried to photograph it on a black background, but I don't think I really captured how awesome the toning is, I found the surfaces are far more reflective that previous thought. The toning is surprisingly even throughout the obverse and reverse. I also took my own dimensions. They are as follows... 26.6 mm x 14.90 g The coin is bold and has a very nice high relief and details on a smaller thicker flan. Although Tyche flaunts a scowl, she is beautiful none-the-less.I often wonder what the impression of the coin was supposed to be. I find it quite scary to see the Goddess of random events and wealth with a frown. I really am more than pleased, I feel like after all the thousands of years this goddess shined on me. I am really glad I didn't miss this example.:sniper:[/QUOTE]
