[QUOTE="TIF, post: 1892606, member: 56859"]Thanks for the additional history! Such a beautiful coin and the cent comparison pictures really demonstrate the engraver's talent (and myopia). You changed your reflection template. :( I like the deep black background which provides better contrast-- less visual competition of matching gray tones within the coin. RE Aeschylos: did he really die of traumatic brain injury secondary to an eagle dropping a turtle on his head or is this just lore? [CENTER][ATTACH=full]322738[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] Edited to add: Aeschylos probably died due to delayed care. His attending physician, Asklepios, took too long to find the correct ICD10 diagnosis code. Which, in case you ever experience such an emergency, is W59.22XA, "Struck by a turtle, initial encounter". Not to be confused with code W59.21XA, "[I]Bitten[/I] by a turtle, initial encounter" or W59.22XD, "Struck by a turtle, [I]subsequent[/I] encounter". Mutual of Athens will deny the claim if improperly coded. (I am not making this up. Well, at least not the codes...)[/QUOTE]
