[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2604833, member: 44316"]Some coins make you study them and check out all your resources. Maybe you like your most valuable coins the most, and maybe you like the most beautiful or rarest the most (and these categories overlap a great deal), but this coin which is not my most expensive, or most beautiful, or rarest, but it provoked the most research. [ATTACH=full]569163[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]569164[/ATTACH] It was the subject of a thread I began on perspective: [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/perspective.279926/[/url] After many hours of purposeful looking I can say that not many ancient coins show perspective in the sense of any "vanishing point" type idea. This one shows the front of the galley facing about half-right and with oars further away smaller. Post your most research-provoking coin that was not your most expensive, most beautiful, or rarest piece.[/QUOTE]
