The Coin Shop across from the British Museum

Three Coins

Across the street from the British Museum are a used book store (which we did not visit) and a coin and antiquities shop (which we did). Dad bought these coins at the coin shop. Constantine’s was 8 pounds (which is probably way above market, looking at hte Web) and the other two were from the cheap box, for 2 pounds each. Maybe later we’ll photograph the currency that 3 of the kids bought.

The coins were photographed with a Kodak EasyShare V70 Dual-lens. Use the macro setting, not as close up as possible, and with a dark background.
