<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 4588781, member: 43872"]I have long marveled at the fine detail on tiny ancient coins. In an age when the average life expectancy was so much less than today, most crafts were younger men's crafts. Then again, there are certain people who can naturally see tiny stuff. My wife, before her cataract surgery, was legally blind without glasses ("What chart?"), but amazed the ophthalmologist by what tiny things she could see a few inches in front of her face. It was almost like always wearing a magnifying lens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
