    Came across this the other day and thought I’d share. It’s the first flip over double strike I have handled.

    For some reason, looking at Victor’s coin and reading Mat’s response made me think of Full Metal Jacket when Sergeant Hartman told Pyle, “You’re so ugly, you could be a modern art masterpiece.” Hahahaha
