The Lizard Images are Fake!

My apologies to all who believed that the images of the lizard swallowing the coin were real. I've received some inquiries about the fate of the lizard in the photos after posting them in Mat's "Just a snack" thread. I assure you that no skinks were injured in the making of these composites. I created the fakery using the PhotoShop "Spherize" tool. I admire and appreciate the concern of our CoinTalk forum members.

LOL, no need to apologize! That is too PC. Too bad "horse-sense" did not apply when folks were enjoying your humor. I imagine 99% of folks got it when you first posted! I thought it was hilarious, and why I suggested a baseball! Well done. Perhaps this is why everyone believe everything they see on the Net.

Here is my Lizard Coin:

 

Thanks, Alegandron! I received a couple of PMs from members who were unsure about the authenticity of the images. I just wanted to put everyone's fears to rest. LOL! Great coin!

 

Perhaps, but I think it pretty classy of him to do so anyway.

 

You are not fooling me, I know a real lizard eating a real coin when I see one!

 

Then the vet called and said, "Mr. Ray, we're monitoring your lizard very closely. No change yet..."

 

Thanks, Doug444! Your avatar is great! I didn't know what it was until I zoomed in on it just now!
