There are 785 of my Henry III replicas in that photo, the order is for 1000.

My arm is tired, but I'm almost there! Way ahead of schedule too.

Being ahead of schedule is the best feeling ever!

I mean, the second best* feeling ever!

Good job, and nice display/picture.

Instead of Maslow's pyramid of Needy (a set of basic physiological needs impacting most people most of the time at the base of the pyramid moving up towards the social and self-actualization needs affecting a smaller set of the population a much smaller part of the time); I often find most people are operating under Destroyo's ladder of Wanty (a linear progression in which people move directly from one want (e.g., sex, companionship, property, etc..) to another and back depending on its immediate satisfaction.

Some folks are both Needy and Wanty -- a horrific combination that is often accompanied by Whiney.

Gotta love the advancements in Behavioral Science brought to you by The Tick (and Arthur). :shock:

Are those cast or stamped?

I'd presume stamped since:

a) that's how it was done in period

b) Donasian is a properly period moneyer, and

c) he said his arm was getting tired.

Beautiful spread!

Correct on all counts, but we say "struck."

Cast coins are appropriate in China, and pretty much nowhere else.

Beautiful spread!

Thanks!
