Today, October 22, in China 4,146 years ago (2136 B.C.), was the first RECORDED solar eclipse. In memory, post a coin with a picture of the sun or moon on it (darkside or ancients welcome... the older the better).

I have always like this coin. The blue toning in the fields makes it actually look like space, at least to me it does.

In hand, this is a really nice medal and this picture is really representative of the color.

That is one very cool Ike!!

Paul - I think if I ever decided to buy an Ike, that would be the look I'd strive to get. Nice coin!
