<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2910267, member: 10461&quot;][USER=77413]@RonSanderson[/USER]- you animated that little model half-farthing nicely.&nbsp; If I remember correctly, it&#039;s <i>smaller</i> than a dime?&nbsp; I thought you might like the toning on it.&nbsp; That&#039;s the first time I can recall seeing a British &quot;model&quot; coin that wasn&#039;t early Victorian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the pictures I had of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]702586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]702588[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=83311]@thegreatdane[/USER] - ancients are fun, and you&#039;ve got no shortage of enthusiasts here to help you out, should you ever wish to take the plunge into that category!&nbsp; I&#039;ve dabbled in so many different things over the years (and found myself tempted by others I haven&#039;t tried yet), that this &quot;eclectic&quot; approach has worked well for me the last four years.&nbsp; It has given me leeway to sample lots of different things I might not have otherwise explored, if I were still shackled to the structure of fixed &quot;sets&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, y&#039;all, for the responses, and sorry for the somewhat belated reply.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Update on the Eclectic Box front:</b> one of what I considered to be my &quot;top three&quot; coins has now <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-am-aethelred-this-is-why.305834/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-am-aethelred-this-is-why.305834/">gone away.</a>&nbsp; *snif* <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But it has gone back to the person from whom I originally got it - and it was his namesake, &quot;signature&quot; coin.&nbsp; So I let him persuade me to turn loose of it, just as <i>he</i> had done when he swapped it to <i>me</i>, four years earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">Besides, I owed him money, and now that prior debt has been paid off, so the collection above is down to a nice round 25 pieces, and my personal debt situation is improved.&nbsp; But I will miss that coin an awful lot.</font></p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t see the point in posting a whole new update just to show the <i>removal </i>of a coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ll wait until the next <i>addition </i>to post another update.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
