A lot of excellent coins as usual! I've seen all of these coins. I especially like the Roman Republic coins. Sadly, I can't afford any decent examples even in low grade.
Gil-galad => yes, a few of these six coins may have been posted right before we lept over here to Coin talk ... ummm, which I am enjoying very much (you guys have a great thing going over here ... thanks for havin' me!!) :yes:
Nice..... I am glad to see I am not the only "sneak it into the house before she can see it" collector.
thanks for the coin compliments!! (especially you "Mat" ... apparently you cruised-through all 6 and left a comment in each => I really appreciate the feedback ... you guys are my only sounding-board regarding my coin collection) ... the rest of my "local pals" collect empty beer bottles, not ancient coins!!
If you ever make it down to Calgary, one of the nicest ancient dealers around is Robert Kokotailo there. His website is calgarycoin.com.
you're right => I've bought plenty o' Dominion of Canada quarters from the awesome dude (but thanks for the coin lead ... I owe ya one)
As I said in the email, that's an great coin! Calgary Coin was my local dealer, so another recommendation here!
I'm sure of it, if your wife is like mine and most others. They have a nose for it I think. I've been caught a couple of times and I'm pretty good at it.:devil:
True. Most wives know I am sure, they are simply looking the other way for the moment. At least we aren't out wasting our money on gambling, booze, or other activities. I think mine prefers me at home "wasting" my money on these little bits of old metal.
Cant believe your wife collects coach bags...those things are pricey. To me a bag is a bag. It carries things, lol.
