<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cplradar, post: 7423246, member: 108985&quot;]I was looking over the coins commerating Mary Anning, the break through paelontologist who discoved much of the early sea monsters of the Jurasic period, all but naming the epoc - we are taling in the 1830&#039;s, a good 50 years before the Origin of Species.&nbsp; She is deserving of a coin and this one made from the British Royal mint looks like it was designed right out of the British Museum of Natural History.&nbsp; That problem with that is, the British Museum of Natural History are aesthetically clueless.&nbsp; It is a terribly ugly museum and filled to the rafters with bones and fossils stuffed into all corners of the Dinosuar areas.&nbsp; They have an important example of Archeoptrex which is in a nondescript showcase on the second floor.&nbsp; It is bizarre to be so poorly displayed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was so not a fan of that museum.&nbsp; I did, however, get lured into buying a couple of these coins.&nbsp; The problem was, that the Royal Mints website made it impossible for me to userstand exactly what I was buying, until it got here.&nbsp; There is essentially a colored coin and an non-colored coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Like the new commems from the US Mint, there is more packaging than coins.&nbsp; That makes me think the mint is completely missing the point.&nbsp; But here is a first look of some of what I got.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1289242[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1289243[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1289244[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1289245[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1289246[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1289247[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
