[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2122375, member: 42773"]You know, I can't help but see both lions at the same time now. It's an optical illusion coin. You never know what's going to happen on this forum, lol. Speaking of which, I went to a very small coin show this morning. One dealer actually had four trays of ancients, but they were harshly-cleaned, worn, corroded, and otherwise undesirable, not to mention grossly overpriced. It's like eBay grew a pair of legs and set up a table. The guy was so pleased with himself for having some ancients for sale that I didn't have the heart to say anything. I did walk away with some Hard Times and Civil War Tokens, however, and I'm just going to post them here for now. After some study and research, I'll do a write-up for the US Coins forum. Here's a larger CWT, but not quite as big as a large cent. This business confuses me a little. Taxidermy and fine glass? So I can bring dearly departed Fido in to get stuffed and displayed in a glass case? Now THAT's one-stop shopping! (I'm pretty sure I got this critter's head facing the right direction.)
