[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8338191, member: 91461"]Thanks so much for all the kind responses and dazzling coins:woot::artist::cigar:. Maybe next I'll share my Kimon;) Thanks much Doug:) I've got an ancient that even my little lady is enamored by. That's the go ahead for a lifelong addition. And Yeeeuuus! I'm so glad somebody else "enjoys", or even noticed, what you referred to as its "fold". The coin, thanks to our visable upper sprue, is high on the left and low on the right and then the imprint flips it so the coin is high on the right. Giving us that fun fold in-between :singing: I saw it, did a double take and feel in love with that "situation" and very much love the character it adds to the piece. Thankfully others see it as a flaw so that I can afford to hold on to it for a lifetime:smuggrin: If you look close you can see the sprue on both north and south pole. The lower one just doesn't give us the groovy effect as the upper so wildly. Ps, thanks for the resources. Bookmarked:bookworm: And some other Sicilians for fun: [ATTACH=full]1478423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1478424[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1478425[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
