At the request of some I have changed my avatar. I really can't go back the old one because LM is using it now. I really didn't like the samurai pick anyway. It was a pic of a 3D artist friend of mine. 3D art is my other hobby Balance is once again restored to the force

I just briefly borrowed boiler's picure of that coin (the first icon you used), because I plan to wrest the actual coin from his grasp during a swapping session at the FUN show, maybe. I just wanted to wear that icon for a little while- as you can see, I have gone back to my default HoleyGoldHat icon as of this post. I will most likely be selling my gilt proof halfpenny (the coin in your new borrowed icon) if I get boiler's coin.

Here's the Boiler78 icon coin (an 1805 penny in NGC PR64 CAM):





Here's my old Hibernia icon coin (an 1805 halfpenny, raw PR61, light cameo):





You're welcome to borrow my Hibernia icon if you wish. In fact, $275 will get you the halfpenny it was made from (if I upgrade to boiler's penny), and I assure you my halfpenny looks WAY better than the pictures of it. The scan above is not only dark but exaggerates the hairlines. In person, my coin has deep mirrors and nice contrast, looking very much like boiler78's penny, actually, but with just a few more marks on it (3 grade points worth). I may submit my halfpenny to be graded by PCGS or NGC while I am at the FUN show.
