<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2079327, member: 56859"]I have a couple. The second one was relatively recently added and I don't think I've shown it here before. I wish the obverse was a bit better on the second coin but the lizard is very nice. I bought it in honor of <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-hey-post-your-pet-s-coin-s.258720/#post-2071445" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-hey-post-your-pet-s-coin-s.258720/#post-2071445">Andy the Anole</a> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruh roh... as I was composing this post I checked Forvm's Fake Gallery because the second coin looks a bit off.
