Post your Pigs

Coming from a poor family I was brought up on it but hadnt eaten it for maybe 30 years. A few years back I told my kids that all Americans needed to know what it was and what it tasted like. So on a camping trip I served it. I didnt remember how horrible it was! I wont do that to them again!

Wow - many, many awesome coins in this thread. Pigs are popular here.

My only decent pig (Trajan quadrans w/ Hercules):

 

Yes. This is one of the coolest of Roman coins (though many would disagree I am sure).

 

I always felt the Veturius Denarius inspired this one:

cool new boar reverse pish!

i'll post this recent acquisition i haven't showed off yet. it was a cheapie picked up with some other coins as i had already payed for shipping...why not add another coin. it's my smallest silver coin and cross "coin from lesbos" off my list.





LESBOS, 5th century BC. 1/24 stater.

O: Confronted boars' heads R: Quadripartite incuse square, divided diagonally. HGC 6, 1071. VF. 7 mm, 0.7 g.

 

Great coin Chris. Lesbos is high on my list but I have never found one I like that is in my price range.

 

Love the "RAMPANT" description! You can "feel" the fighting!

 

chrsmat => thanks for the heads-up ...

I also have two confronted boars ... oh, and TIF helped me with the presentation






Pig City!!

 

a pictures worth a 1000 words, but adding a few adverbs and adjectives never hurts...

 

I havent seen Moose Drool around here for years. Do they still make it?

 

Does half a boar count?

 

Please help! Can anyone identify my one and only coin? I am new to Coin talk and thought this thread to be the most appropriate to post on. Many thanks in advance. s..
