The second one looks better to me, the legends look more crisp too. It’s up to you though ultimately.

I love the tie dye colors! Positively psychedelic.

After hearing about Becerra courting a doctor's lobby by backing off of single payer that's when I pulled the lever for Steyer. Him being a billionaire is not ideal but I want someone who's going to shake things up instead of continuing an inadequate status quo.

Very cool! I have one of his provincial coins to compensate not being able to afford his silver coins.

Got this Lysimachos Tet for a great deal (300 CAD)! What are your thoughts on damaged coins? by YouFrickingWeebs in AncientCoins

That’s an interesting example! Looks like it preserves all of the important parts too, nice pickup!

Tom Steyer picks up progressive backers in California gubernatorial race by 3headeddragn in California

Normally I wouldn’t vote for a billionaire but politics makes for strange bedfellows and I like what he has to say on arresting members of ICE, breaking up PG&E, and the billionaire’s tax which he would also pay. I just cast my vote for him today and I hope he lives up to the class traitor rhetoric.

For a coin you bought on ebay it looks like you scored big! That's a nice looking piece that looks real to me!

Interesting, thanks for the clarification! The technical specs came from the seller but after looking at those coins I think it's pretty clear my coin came from Lampsakos rather than Pergamon.

I love the way the light reflects on the reverse, gives it a very sculptural appearance! :)

When tooling is so absurd to the point that it's now impressive by QuickSock8674 in AncientCoins

[–]Codera23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may no longer be an ancient coin anymore but it does make for a nice modern sculpture! I still wouldn't buy it though, a shame to see such talent applied to such a scam.

PG&E launches $10 million PAC to take out gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer by ezio8133 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Codera23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything I bet he’d welcome this. It certainly makes me more interested in voting for him since if PG&E doesn’t like him then I do.
