Hmmm. Wonder if this strategy will disparage an ex-wife, as well?

that's really neat. you have to think also that this was probably worth a fair amount to the family or whoever that put it up, so it was an investment to them to do this.

Vermontensium, what is on the coin? My mom thinks it's a face. I'm curious who it is. (Is there even enough left to attribute?)

It's also struck off center which will present a further challenge.

Ahh, I just lost a buck. *sigh* (Never make bets with your mother.) Face it is. Who is that ugly guy?

I always felt that the real importance of the portrait is in whom it is not: King George. Once you've established that, it doesn't really matter who it is.
