    Bill, you can get a lot better pictures through plastic using a scanner with the coin tilted slightly, prop the top edge on a pencil. Worth a try on such a great coin. That SA is brutal,,, wowimage

    I could part with it Shep because I have 8-9 others that are just as spectacular as that coin (I just can't get pictures that nice of the coins.image). I'm glad you like the coin Bill.

    I may have to send you some others just to get pictures of them (you would, unfortunately, have to send those back...)!!!

    Both nice coins, Cosmic.

    Boy, your image on the lire is sure different than NEN's. I like to see that you're putting those Italian ones away.
