A friend made his silver proofs available. Some of the coins have some very nice patina forming on them adding a touch of color to the silver white metal. Since the obverse is the same on all the coins, I presented it only once and arranged the coins like the Olympic rings.

The coins are so clear and bright against the red background. Well presented, Don.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

This is a clever idea Don with arranging them in the olympic shield. I never knew so many different coins existed. Thank you for introducing them to me!
