    Ironically this thread is basically a CAC topic so I don't think that "legally" you can even open up this thread anymore...sorry Mark.

    Day 5. While my hand remains unsteady I'm resolute in my mission.

    Yes, I feel like Neo in The Matrix dodging CAC bullets woven within the fabric of most every thread no matter how benign the title. Even Glicker's Milk Spot thread felt like a trap.

    The piece did not come with a reverse -- it's just flat metal. The obverse is quite interesting though, as the design is incused into the metal, so that it can be used as a seal or a die. I would say it was patterned after the 1792 Bell Metal Liberte Francoise medal:

    The Royal family that owned it traces its heritage from the present day, with an unbroken lineage back to around the year 1000! How's that for a family tree?

    I had a muchly more smartish reply formulated in my mind but the palm tree in the photo broke my concentration. I shall do my best.....

    It is one of the mysteries of the universe how the meaning little green sticker simply cannot be understood by so many, even a decade in.

    I admire your resolve. Stay strong. I predict any urge to imbibe will be completely gone in a month or so.

    A while back, I was in Tunisia, and I commented to my guide about the BTR-90 we had just passed, and the fact they had added a 7.62 machine gun on top, with live rounds visible, and a couple other things. He had been in the Tunisian Army and I had been in the US Army Rangers. He asked if I was comfortable around weapons, etc., as our guard had an AKM-S on his shoulder. I told him I was fine with them. A short time later, he smiled, pressed a little Russian P-96 pistol in my hand, and told me just to give it back when I left.

    Such a prude should not photobomb

    Anyway I know it had you thinking of your heart's true calling
    I'm sure both Jacques and Léopold would jump all over the chance to contribute weiner medals for the proper gap.

    Anyway, I hope a better view cheers you up!

    Nice piece! But where is her teeny tiny, vaguely hat-shaped thing on a stick?

    Day 9

    I'm back to real world. Actually not really as I live in LA. Anyways this CAC detox seems to be be taking root. I don't feel like jammimg a number 2 pencil in my ear as much when I scroll the forum.

    @cardinal the two pieces you posted are dream coins to me. I've looked at them at least 62 times. I look forward to seeing them in person one day soon

    How dare someone interfere with your peaceful view of the ocean by photobombing your picture!! Since this is supposed to be a numismatic-related forum, I covered the "offender" with something more appropriate -- a Sand Dollar!

    Thank God that sand dollar ain't stickered. Looks to be a "sea" coin anyways

    There is a possibility that some slight errors were introduced in the result. Hey, I'm also available for similarly accurate coin photography.

    @WinLoseWin

    Unfortunately, you got the wrong chick's reflection. You should have factored in the angle of the sun which caused the reflection of the unattractive woman hidden from your view (behind the palm) to shift and appear to be the reflection of the "Babe." Note the different hair style. Attention to detail is very important in numismatics.
