That is a very nice score Steve! I would have scooped that up for more than your bid.

I have this Syracuse bronze with a bull and two dolphins:



And this Velia stater with only a crummy, cell phone picture.



And this slightly rough but solid chunk of Thurium distater:

Atta-boy, Gandalf => great coins (thanks for strutting your stuff!!)

... man, I always smile when I see your cool Mars didrachm (total winner)

 

I won this for the opening bid at CNG this week. It's definitely rough and dirty but for $60 I'll take it.

 

Wow, H8 ... that is a total winner!!

Yah, I'm a huge fan of those types (congrats on scoring that lil' sweetie)

Do ya mind if I show you a couple of my Boetia examples as well?







=> thanks, coin bro ..... H8, your new CNG example is fantastic (it was in my target-zone as I went through the auction)

... man, it's always sweet scoring a coin on its opening bid, eh?

 

Ooops, I forgot to toss-in my other sweet Boetia example ... sadly, because of his obvious disfigurement, I always feel badly when I forget to include him with his two brothers (*awkward*)

Please welcome Lenny ... my 3rd wonderful and handi-capable Boetia example

 

Nice Boetia @H8_modern and a good price.

 

Thank you. I love that RR Mars Didrachm too. That was minted when Rome FINALLY gets into the Silver game...
