...wedges of bright silver coruscate and move playfully around on both sides of this coin, happily darting under wispy clouds of light subtle autumn ochre toning, it contrasts sharply with the usual specimens that lack luster even in the higher grades.
Sure to please the most discerning appreciateur of cow heads.

It's the "No legs" variety.
Must be a Hemingway Half.
Shouldn’t you write that as:
Wedges of bright silver
Coruscate and move playfully
On both sides of thy coin,
Happily darting
Under wispy clouds of light
Subtle autumn
Ochre toning
contrasting sharply
Not a usual specimen
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Is Bob Dylan writing those descriptions?
Verily, I shouldst've.
That wouldn't be a coin, Fred. More like a rolling Stone.

Don’t quit your day jobs guys.......

Confucius say:

"Well, I ride on a mail train babe,
You can't buy a thrill...............
I've been up all night babe,
leaning' on your windowsill"
The trilling words of poetic prose,
Caresses the senses like a rose
pleases both the eye and nose...
A coin with luster and art so fine,
speaks to me saying, it must be mine.
Cheers, Ricko
Commem fever I feel I've got
The hunt is daily getting hot
Oh look...Another possible lot
Oh hell...It's got an awful SPOT !!!!
(not far from the truth
)
@MrEureka will sympathize with my effort to add the obligatory Burma-Shave ending for all such efforts.
"Kiss a wet light-bulb."
There is also an attribution to an Allen Ginsberg verse in a description of the die bulge on a (1796) BB-65, but such sweet sibilance spouts forth from the Forum's gushing bards that little else can distract from their learned and exquisitely couched disquisitions on beauty and virtue.
More laconically summarized as "shinier than most"
I'll have what they're having.
Doggedly collecting coins of the Central American Republic.

Welp. This single thread can get the OP hired in the cataloguing dept of any major auction house
Many changes in the air
Some may think it’s just not fair
Collector base is getting older
Many coins in the wrong holder
Some say CAC, others not
And prices now are not so hot
(But can’t buy a single rarity
Without the help of charity)
One thing, though, that pleases me
We’ve jettisoned the DISAGREE 😜
He who knows he has enough is rich.
I am speechless
Nice coins tho .....
