ksherwoodf Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 How do I find your celtic coins? I cannot seem to get to it through the link. --Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Click on the Omnicoin link and look under United Kingdom (if you click on the year tab it sorts them into earliest 1st) I dont think that I have posted my French ones as yet though.

mmarotta Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Do you ever view them edge-on or obliquely? According to Geraldine Chimirri-Russell (see here), these coins with their abstract or stylized heads when viewed not face-on, but at an angle, take on a far more realistic three-dimensionality. The method does not apply to all, but does for many of the ones that look "wierd" when viewed face-on. Floating lines off in the field become cheeks, open gimaces become smiles, "Picasso" faces become normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Neat Coin, De Orc! Do you ever view them edge-on or obliquely? According to Geraldine Chimirri-Russell (see here), these coins with their abstract or stylized heads when viewed not face-on, but at an angle, take on a far more realistic three-dimensionality. The method does not apply to all, but does for many of the ones that look "wierd" when viewed face-on. Floating lines off in the field become cheeks, open gimaces become smiles, "Picasso" faces become normal. Now THAT is a seriously cool article! BTW... Nice to see you again - Welcome back!
