Wedding Anniversary Coin Present

@> Zumbly
I know very little about women, and the more I know, the less I know, but one thing I DO know is what they say, and what they mean, are often two different things.
If I were you, I would play it safe and as has been suggested, get a second gift, quickly. (The alternative is too horrible to ponder.)

Happy Anniversary, Z!
And a nice coin to boot!

 

Been there and done that. Believe me, you won't get another As for a while.

 

I would consider it, but now I'm afraid the choice of second gift would be a thousand-dollar vacuum .

 

Neat coin & happy anniversary!

 

Get the Toaster, but GET another present from the Heart (need NOT be expensive, just thoughtful...). Worth it Dude... big time.

 

Happy anniversary Z, with that way of thinking you will have a long marriage. any good reason to buy a Ancient coin, just ask Steve, great choice, love the coin. congrats on your 8 years, July 7th will be my 31st year and gets better every year.

 

I believe it! Congrats and Happy Upcoming Anniversary, John!

 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Z!

wow, that's a sweeeeet anniversary present you got there.


that must have been one super toaster you got mrs. Z!

 

Happy anniversary! My family is getting bored with my constant requests for ancient coin related gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and even Father's Day. Below is my Father's Day present - my Hess, Tolstoy Colllection (1912) auction catalogue, rebound in green French goat, double gilt fillets, red morrocco spine label, marbled endsheets. The catalogue was mine, the binding was the gift.

 

What remains of the bridge...the wood is gone but the ends on both shores remain, as well as most pillars are still underwater. Happy anniversary!

 

Thank you, and thanks for sharing the picture!

For those interested, check out this link for CNG's take on the bridge on this coin being the one built by Trajan across the Danube River during the Dacian Wars:

@ zumbly: Thanks much for the historical context. Interesting stuff.

By the way, I think a really good toaster is absolutely indispensable and worth it's weight in gold. Ours has a long wide slot big enough to toast a whole bagel sliced in half. Can't live without it!

 

Wow, that's a fantastic OP-Trajan (fantastic eye-appeal)

Z-bro, congrats on scoring that fine coin & wife combo (they're both keepers)

Cheers

 

That's life. Think before you leap into it.

 

My wife bakes a lot of large, rustic loaves, so a toaster with wide slots was exactly what she wanted .

Thanks, my friend . No upgrading this one (the wife, that is).
