  Lately he has pumped up his post count by commenting on market phenomena in iambic pentameter and with a laconic reggae beat:

  Intended as a celebratory haiku in lieu of a virtual Premium Grolsch

  Funky monkey
  Burned now clunky Norweb white
  Lustre elsewhere.

  5th-graders.. I only count percentages, not syllables, so perhaps "Ouch"?

  If someone could linkify to an 1855 Arrows 25c PCGS PR65CAM (HA 2/2009) (now CAC) I bought there., my sentiments will be most clearly conveyed.

  Thanks

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  Not sure this will meet the high standard to be @ricko approved for lack of toning

  Thanks. The toning is highly accentuated by the HA imaging.
  I just take the coin home once a year and behold it.
  Essentially black-and-white with light toning at the rims.

  The cloudy area between stars 9-10 is actually a planchet void without which it's an easy 66.
  Deceptively messed up image.

  All my other tribute coins still need another dipping

  New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
