pressure of atomic joy. At last‚ the coin destined for any collection has found its way into my safekeeping. The brilliant reflection of its art battles with the overwhelming glisten cast across my eyes. This coin is the Pablo Picasso of the coin world‚ the piéce de résistance to every numismatist most unfathomable dreams.
