sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 8:30 pm I agree: the green cast makes for a fabulous picture. Spear (or chin?) = lightning rod ? The crack appears to stop at the chin, possibly due to increased thickness at that point. Coin may be delicate. Handle carefully. Report this Post to the Staff
