    Fellow Members,

    Here is a Friday Show & Tell selection for me to bother you with. ;) This particular issue is the HTF Double Die Description (DDD) 1331-1371 Byzantine Grosh. The doubling, prominent on the card and plastic flip creates a three dimensional description for the viewer. A very stunning esoteric piece which just drips sophistication and begs to be in a 'Pay Per View' environment, so enjoy it now... LOL :D:D:D:D:D:D

    Take Care & Happy St. Patrick's Day

    Do hope your taking the description as JEST. That i s what it's posted for :D not to be taken seriously.
    P.S. Here is another, better example.

    That one isn't nearly as nice as the first example.

    You didn't mention,and it's really not apparent but this is a silver coin as well.They always have a bit of a dirty look probably due to the low silver content.
    As I've mentioned before,I bought mine just because you had one.I guess I'll have to order a Michael IV now..LOL
    BTW,Michael's last name was Asen so now you have a good reason to chuck the 3-D flip insert for one of your own.;)
