<p>[QUOTE="Tigermoth1, post: 7844402, member: 121422"]Z, You're WONDERFUL! Thank you so very much for the lead on RON LANDIS and his studio; his work is AMAZING! and dangerously close to forgery. Whereas RL Studios has 2 fully marked, ascribed pieces, both FRONT and BACK for sale on the website ($140 plus), someone has taken these and made slight alterations (ATHENA's nose has been bobbed) and made a coin. WOW!, Instant Ancient, and suckered me out of $250 plus for an ersatz ANCIENT COIN... . AMAZING!, mine weighs less than 43 grm, but may yet prove to be STERLING SILVER!?

(Let's hope so... ), I think I hear the siren's song, as far as collecting ANCIENT COINS (especially for newbies like me) ... Awhile the Mermaids sing and comb their flow- ing hair, the Waves would crash against the rocks, like drunken sailors drooling over bock and teats, with loud and savage lusty row. The Mermaids raise their heads like startled does, eyes flash and greet the other's, lashing mock- ing smiles that meet one another as locks unfold. Their laughter sets the waves aglow and racing headlong, streaming foam, they hurl themselves upon their fated goal, to pick that pearly comb amid the virgin curls and toss it back away to sea. Ah!, quick- ly fading dream of sirens. Oh!, laurel of rising froth and sand... , a snuffed wick.[/QUOTE]
