matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 09/11/2012 7:49 pm And Yertle, the turtle, from throne way up high Said, "stevex, you're lucky!" (Said he with a sigh:) "Take care of me lovingly, do share me with others. Together at last, like two long-lost brothers." (A little poetry never hurts no one! Even bad poetry.) I do not exactly know what I am looking at, but I am envious none-the-less. I see 400+ BC and I get weak in the knees. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/11/2012 9:02 pm I like the simplicity of this design! Stylistically, it's more archaic than classical Greece. The last coin is a good example of silver crystallization. Report this Post to the Staff
