Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 02/28/2014 01:08 am Back in the days when photography for coins was expensive and difficult - say, the 1960s or earlier - people would send pencil rubbings of coins to each other instead. Pencil rubbings work well for flat coins like moderns or even Chinese cash, but ancients are way too 3-D for that technique to be effective. Wax castings and tin-foil impressions were often used instead. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
