    Antiqued silver. That is pretty cool looking! Spinner in the middle?

    Yes... it is a Yin Yang 'marble' mounted in the middle on rotating center and axle..... very nicely done and silver. Cheers, RickO

    That was fast shipment! Try to keep it in "US" (un-spun) condition. :D

    Yep.... I have ... and it spins smoothly.... part of the 'grading' of items like this. Any friction would make it lose point(s).... It is as smooth as butter.... so, two axis turning, a true Yin Yang flexibility. Cheers, RickO

    we had some bullion coins from Tuvalu and out of curiosity I did a search on the island(s). with their highest elevation at around 15' they are at risk from a tsunami. like many other Pacific Islands there might be no evidence of human habitation after it has passed.

    Similar to Florida.... I think their highest elevation is a landfill... at least on the peninsula.... :D Cheers, RickO

    Cool piece, ricko. Although with that antiqued finish I'm surprised it passed the "Ricko No Tarnish" test. Or do you make exceptions for tarnished coins if they are produced with that being the desired effect?

    My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.

    Obviously, antiqued is AT.... :D:D And yes, in this case, I made an exception.... this is art. Cheers, RickO

    @Boosibri.... :D I am good at copy and paste... However, I have never taken a selfie, nor have I ever taken a picture of my food. Just an old fogey I guess... Cheers, RickO

    With all that black, does this still qualify as a WHITE coin to you? :)
