what a great coin AN! ...i love me some pan/athena tets. be sure to post some pics of it when it's free.

man, i'm just barely holding on to that wagon...

 

Grats! I don't see how that's not at least a Fine.
I've looked at quite a few of these, but the First Meris trumps it for me too.

 

What a way to fall off the wagon! Now that is a coin type that is still high on my wish list. Nicely done.

 

Mine, with a newer photo

32.1mm

very nice ...

iamtiberius => your example also has six-rays on its stars (same a s my example)

 

Love that reverse with the helmet.

 

Public announcement: the wagon is broken. Too many passengers. There will be no more getting on the wagon.

 

I fell off too. Been purchasing too many coins lately, even though I did not get that many. Been pretty poor lately. My mom got me one for Christmas, I got 3 coins so far this month after a 6 months dry period, for a total of 4 coins in two months.

 

Does mean I'm dead? I was on it when the crash occurred.

 

It wasn't going that fast.

 

Whew, that was a close one!

 

In fact, it was barely lumbering along at a snail's pace, laden as it was, with a burgeoning mass of dejected and morose men, drawn by a three-legged mule.

 

So that's why I've been on it for so long...

 

Good Riddance!!!
Stupid wagon...

 

Don't worry. I'll have it fixed in no time and be riding shotgun.

 

My wife has been takin' the B-word lately!!

=> budget!! (ahhhhhhhhhhh!!)

... ummm, I'm pretty sure that budget is french for wagon, right?
