Great coin. It has a certain AJ characteristic about it.

I too forgot good ol' Pella. Alexander Lifetime Tetradrachm (I really am not happy with the image at all.

 

Martin, your coins are always spectacular.....and those reverses... WOW!!! What a fabulous legacy you have for your family!

Every post, with the exception of my modest post, has the 'P' letter rocking hard!! ....I love those Pella Tets!!

 

=> yes, Bing and I are both very proud of Martin, our future-adopted-father.

 

The pride of sons!

 

Hey, I just realized I'm an 'orphan'.....

... but now, what do we have for "Q"?

Sadly, I'm completely empty-handed here. Martin? anoob? TIF? Steve? Anyone?

 

Nothing here.

 

No Qs for me. Don't think I have any Rs either, although I wish I had a nice Rhegium.

 

Expecting a lot of Rome for R.

 

I forgot the obvious! I hope everyone limits their Rome posts to a few favorites.

 

Ummmm, so Rhodes doesn't count?
