    Neat coin, shame about the flat spot on the reverse figures head.

    Maybe Siva got his head butted by Nandi:(

    Beautiful coin, @panzerman. I’d love to see a poster of all (or many) of your coins. I’m sure it would be amazing.

    Also—on the subject of tridents (sorry, I couldn’t resist) A classic scene from “Anchorman.” ;)

    I also would enjoy seeing a poster with a great many of your treasures. I'm
    not sure I would have enough empty wall space to accommodate the full
    collection poster.. Deacon Ray has posted a few with his many treasures. You
    could maybe set it up similar to the PCGS poster.
