<p>[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 7634647, member: 111037"][USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] I really like your example. Compared to mine, both obverses are fine and of a good style, and as you said from different dies. But I have the feeling both dies were from the same hands. Too many style similarities to be just a coincidence. I also think that your reverse is nicer. Better condition and more of the design visible on the flan. But I do think that my Zeus is looking pretty fine, even with the pot belly (probably a BBQ and lots of wine the night before). </p><p><br /></p><p>Both these coins suffered from delayed shipping. There was some kind of a postage error with the first one and the postal service demanded more shipping fees from the seller, while my new one was stuck at customs as its seller did not give any description of the parcel's contents. They actually contacted me to tell them what was in it. Neither of course compare with the shipping adventure I had with my Side tet which ended up in America. I seem to be having lots of shipping issues lately. I really miss being able to walk into a store and just buy a coin, no postal services involved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
