  1. Thank you. So the coin I am looking at is referenced in this book. I have a friend here who can get it at trade price
  2. I have my eye on a Celti-Iberian coin from the Age of Augustas 27BC-14AD. It doesn't have ACIP (Ancient coins Iberian Peninsular) ref, but it has AB580. Please help a beginner and inform me what the abbreviation AB refers to. Many thanks
  3. Been to see both Eurythmics and Annie solo. Brings back memories, thanks
  4. It is titled "The disappeared"
  5. You certainly have skills with a pencil, I like them a lot
  6. Something I found a challenge. Making it look like a glass, as you can only show what is reflected and shadowed
  7. Beautiful sketches, thanks for sharing
  8. Moving on to pencil sketches. I don't bother with musculature, rather just portray an image to look recognisable.
  9. I like dabbling with the brushes and colors, keeps me sane. I will start this off with some white charcoal on black card. Highlighting only where light strikes the subject still gives the impression of the full image. Pile on, anything goes
  10. Try this for removing the background. It is one of the best I have found, even for the oddest shapes. Just upload an image, it does it's stuff and then you download it to a folder etc. https://www.remove.bg/
  11. Very informative for newcomers like me. Thank you for posting a good write up
  12. Next. Another rudder
  13. Glad you had a good time. Not only do we share 60 years on this planet, when my Parents emigrated from the UK 42 years ago, their first home was Victoria, adjacent to a golf course. One of my 3 Sisters still lives on the Island.
  14. Great write up and beautiful imagery. Thanks for that
  15. Some really nice crowns there. Looking through my records it appears I have two crowns only. Winston Churchill 1965 and one that probably doesn't belong here 1979 Isle of Man Sterling Silver commemorative of 3 hundred years of Manx coinage
  16. Free for all = a bit of lighthearted fun. Not quite as big as the planet, lol
  17. A good excuse to show this weeks acquisitions again. Yeah,yeah, I am like a kid in a sweet shop (candy store).
  18. @Qcumbor and @DonnaML nice examples
  19. I have edited the OP image to convey the corrected attribution, thanks again
  20. Thanks for spotting that. Totally missed the lettering at the bottom. Newbie disease strikes again, lol
  21. Here is the third coin I acquired this week. Joining AAA on Monday (Ancients Addiction Anonymous) Lol
