Q

 

thank you for your kind comments and nice coins peeps

 

Atta-boy, gregarious => I'm lovin' your cool OP-addition! (sweet eye-appeal)

I happen to have a fairly humble example of this fine lady ... wanna see it?

 

thanks stevex6, she has the different do on yours and a fine portrait!

 

Nice @gregarious.

 

ahaha, yah => my example's hair is a real winna (it's Saturday Night hair!!)



I love your OP-coin as well ... congrats, coin-bro

 

Cool addition @gregarious
I recently recieved one more like @stevex6 has, actually Steves looks much better than mine. Sorry no pics yet not even a sellers photo.

 

C'mon Smojo => dust-off that fricken camera!!

We love photos, my coin-friend

 

Yeah I know. I'm so far behind, I keep buying more coins than I have time to photogragh them.
Sallent seems to have inspired me in more & more ways. I'm gonna have to take a vacation from work just to get caught up, .

 

I like it! It looks very nicely toned. I picked mine up recently (from the unsold list of the Gemini XIII auction) and it arrived last Saturday. Pictures just taken today.
