The D-man always has wonderful coins... he's singlehandedly going to bankrupt me! imageimage

(Just kiddin'... I appreciate the opportunity to buy these... they're welcome additions to my toner collection)

I know that most serious collectors go for bright red examples of this type, but the steel blue toning is MUCH more up my alley.

And this one is just stunning. My pics aren't as good as the TrueView pics Dimitri posted, but I think mine show the lustre a bit more...

    Actually I shouldn't be allowed to judge, as I have never photographed a coin in my life, but there is an issue with luster on TrueView. I always thought that it was a choice between colour or luster. Other than that, Phil also has the advantage of shooting them raw. Glad you liked them. image

    Beware of Greeks bearing...

    ... beautiful coins.

    I think the old saying went something like that. image

    A Gotzamanis pedigree is a certain sign of eye appeal. Have a couple myself. Some destined for the Weekly Swap, and some of which ain't goin' anywhere until my daughter is old enough to take possession of her collection I am building.
