    Ahahaha, Jango => apparently you changed your initial STAR WARS two-suns image to this stunning new two-suns image (are you trying to shake your infamous Jang0 image?)

    Sorry I missed the 19th century but I slept through it. Below is an exercise in lighting a coin with some difficult situations created by the combination of recessed and relief details on a gold flan. All three are the same coin. Each image has something to recommend it and something not.

    1932 is a particularly good date as the end of the line for US gold.

    My favorite 20th Century coins are from Italy during the reign of Victor Emmanuel III. This 2 Lire includes a quadriga on the reverse.

    I'm also fond of the 500 Lire design used from 1958 to 2000. The date is on the edge of this coin.

    => I think a 5-Dong is probably okay? ...

    Ummm, but they seem to get a bit rattled when you post the 10+ Dongs ...
    ... I'm just sayin'


    ;)

    Hey brother => what's up with the red-naugahyde table? ... it's definitely a bit tacky, but I must admit that it's also a bit retro-cool (yup, I'm givin' it a sleazy-pass)
