That is a great photo. I am always amazed at the chemistry behind these reactions. For example take something simple like table salt (NACL). The sodium is explosive with water and the the other can be a poisonous gas. Yet you put them together and pour it on french fries.

... ummm, does that count?



... man, I'm sure I must have a coin-version somewhere? (I'll keep lookin')

Oh => how 'bout this? (Larry and I, gazing at our Secret Santa gifts)

 

Today a new still life with new winged hero.

 

Very nice bag-o-coins.

Here are a couple "Still Life" taken at the Bode Museum in Berlin.

 

Now a time to post a best coin of 2016, but a lot of my coins are still at way to me
So, I can only make a new "still life" and waiting....
I hope this mix from AE, AR, AV coins looks good together.

 

Ah, but which ones to pick any why? For me, just random ones that I like (and will make a good photo even if I can barely take a picture!):

 

Wonderful pics.
Here's the closest I have.

 

@randygeki

That second shot is superb.

 

Nice shot, Randy.

 

Thanks

 

Is that Dronino, Randy?

These still life pics are cool.

Coins and meteorites are boss!

When I see something like this I get sick. What does a coin have to do to get any respect from a museum? There are coins in that 'still life' that would sell for 5 digits (lion, silphium and seed on same side, pig left, others?). I have no problem with museum specimens being in a museum but when they dump such a lot out on a cloth and call it a display, I hope they lose their funding to pay their staff. I hope the dies were marked as fakes.

 

Yeah, and a tektite behind that. Unfortunately it rusted a little but I stabilized it

Dronino Meteorite 5.7 gram polished Part Slice


"The Dronino meteorite is a 40 kilograms (88 lb) iron meteorite that was found in the Ryazan Oblast of Russia in July 2000. The Dronino meteorite is a classified as an ataxite (iron meteorite). Most of the meteoric iron is kamacite with minor amounts of taenite. The kamacite chemistry contains 7.0% Ni and 0.75% Co, whereas the taenite has 26.5% Ni and 0.35% Co (% of total mass). About 10% of the volume of the meteorite are sulfides. Accessory minerals include chromite and an iron-phosphate, which could possibly be graftonite.

Because there are no historical descriptions of the impact event of the Meteorite it has been estimated that the fall would have to have occurred before the earliest settlements formed in that region in 1200"
