<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Struck7, post: 8097651, member: 121258&quot;]Hi all. I had a small revelation moment when viewing my Dionysos coin the other day. While tilting and moving the coin to different angles in the morning sunlight Dionysos looked back at me for the first time. I have owned the coin for 6 months but never noticed this faint detail.To me it brought the face to life and certainly added some intensity to the gazing. I&#039;ve tried to take a photo but it&#039;s not easily seen. I&#039;m referring to the iris part of the eye in the first pic. The first two are of my coin and the following pics are examples of the coin I found online.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407779[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1407780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1407781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1407782[/ATTACH] </p><p>THRACE.

The eye to me on this coin seems to express alot</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407783[/ATTACH] </p><p>Has anyone else had a similar discovery? Noticing something new and previously unseen by them while looking at there coins? All the best[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
