Message:: [QUOTE="Carl Wilmont, post: 4593179, member: 75496"]Nice write-up with useful links, [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER]!   [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER], the post on anchors was also interesting.  [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER], your funny cartoon fits the thread well. These are neat coins!  I selected one with a well-struck crayfish, a crustacean  which I enjoyed capturing in rocky streams when I was a boy.  Medusa's serpentine hair appears to be "at rest" in this one.  I also like the "crazy hair" examples very much. [ATTACH=full]1137330[/ATTACH] The coin also brings to mind another childhood memory.   As a kid, I enjoyed going to yard sales, and I was very pleased and excited to bring home this find: [ATTACH=full]1137333[/ATTACH] Note Pegasus on Perseus' helmet, and Medusa on his breastplate. ([USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER], you need one of these to display in your home! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) [ATTACH=full]1137334[/ATTACH] I still like to visit yard sales, estate sales, and antique stores, and now I also enjoy my relatively new pursuit of ancient coins![/QUOTE]
