[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3189428, member: 56859"]What an amazing portrait on such a small coin! Very nice, [USER=98035]@Finn235[/USER] :) Yes, that was me-- my first itsy bitsy teenie weenie coin, barely in my possession more than a few minutes before it went flying. I locked the door to the office and had to crawl around on the floor, carefully moving furniture out of the way. It took 20 minutes or so to find it.

It completely blended in with the carpet!
