Sorry- I didn't even notice
I linked the wrong images together. I have the other shot of the one next to the coin. Should I edit this post and put that image up instead?
Again sorry, I have never made this mistake before. If this happens again, (which I hope it doesn't) you can always email me. I hope you understand this was an honest mistake, the ! feels lik I am being scolded. Perhaps I am reading too much into it though. Anyway since you said you unlinked them, perhaps I should leave it this way? Just let me know and I will take care of it.
Thanks
