New turtle arrived today

I feel so shallow. I have several coins and not one has a name. I Each has a number so I guess I'll have to get my name changed to zero.

Doug, you can name your turtle Mary Shelly, get it? Hahaha, eh...nevermind.

 

That's an excellent tortoise drachm! Attention always seems to go to their big stater brothers, but I think the smaller fellows are great too and would be cuter to boot.

My countermarked sea turtle stater.

 

Thanks for all the good vibes on my turtle coin who will now go by the name Yourtoise the Tortoise!

 

Hey the Turtles are still a thing! My son watches the old episodes.

I would like to own one. One day.

 

Someone with only a left brain is making jokes. What is your avatar? Washington?

 

I was a kid in the 90s and know exactly what you're talking about

 

i believe my opinion of turtles is well know.




a sweet turtle...and a dolphin....NICE JBG.

 

Gorgeous TIF!!!!

That turtle looks like it's about to shed it's metal skin and crawl away

 

At times I regret restricting myself to just Flavian silver. The gorgeous coins in this thread are good examples of why. Someday I will start a separate collection consisting of 'odds and sods' and a turtle stater will be one of the first added.

 

Awesome coin JB, i love the Turtle coins. sweet !!

Live action..


I won this coin a few Months ago. sorry Al, still haven't got a good pic. sellers pic.

Aegina sea turtle..510-490.BC.
18.7mm x 12.04g.

 

I will not buy another coin before the end of the year. I will not....ok, where is my debit card? Man, you guys know how to tempt others with your amazing coin acquisitions.

What can I say that others haven't said yet? Amazing coins you've got there...seriously!

I should have taken up a cheaper hobby, like for example, lighting $10 cigars with $20 bills, or throwing rolled up Dollar bills into trash can baskets to hone my basketball skills...but I just love coins so much.

 

Just remembered, what are ya' going to call that cool new turtle JBG?

 

I just took a look at the price of turtles...ouch! Might have to auction off my right kidney away to be able to get one any time soon. Anyone know someone with money who needs a gently pre-owned right kidney with only one previous owner?

 

I'm going to call him Mock....

 

It's fake???

 

I knew somebody would take it there! Congrats!

 

One thing I like about the hobby is that there are coins for all income brackets but sometimes we need to be careful not to go in over our heads. Football fans have the choice of watching on TV, buying a ticket, buying a season pass or buying a franchise. Turtles are terribly expensive if you have to have the best one there is and you have to have it right now.

I hope not to buy any more this year either but I sure wish the last two I bought would get here. At this time of year I always worry about them being eaten by the reindeer.
