Someone else's tree. Some silver and gold. Thanks for the theme Sepiana! Bill, the fill-the-frame composition is perfect for your subject. I really like how the light is gleaming on the tree decorations. Another job well done! |

Silver grape scissors, ca 1850s. It has hallmarks and years ago I was able to date it and ID the maker, but now to make out the marks. Clive, I like how you composed your shot. Your subject is the star of the show, nothing to distract the viewers. These are the Canadian Toonie and Loonie. Their names have an interesting and fun history. In 1987, the Canadian Mint produce a one-dollar coin and it was embraced by Canadians. The coin had a common loon (water bird) on the face. And the coin became the Loonie and that is what it is called by everyone. In 1996, the mint created a two-dollar coin and it naturally became a toonie. Gold and silver together. Great job capturing the details on these coins. The history of their names is a bonus. |

A collection of coins is usually known as "silver" but these one pound coins are both gold and silver. Matthew Matthew, great image -- simplistic (uncluttered) composition, use of negative space, and abiding by The Rule of Odds (five coins). |

A silver Santa ornament not yet hung on the tree Pete, this is a one-of-a kind silver ornament. Great job capturing its intricate details. |
