The Sports Mascots on Coins Thread -- hope everyone plays!

Interesting, the last time you condemned my coin was by memory. Years ago a "friend" of yours had the "exact same coin." You must have an incredible memory! Most people can't remember Domitian's TRP IMP and COS numbers on coins they own, but you can remember a coin that wasn't even yours from years ago...I think you should give up coins and move to Vegas to count cards.

Now you condemn 4 of my coins and claim I have many more fakes in my collection without any proof, just your word and a flimsy claim that you're a numismatist and dealer. You also say orfew's Domitian's are fake, again with no proof, just a link to a CNG tetradrachm that has no relevance to any of his coins.

I have no need to defend my coins. All the ones you have claimed are fake have come from real experts, like CNG, HJB and Forum. They don't stay in the shadows and hide who they are. Have they made mistakes? Of course they have. But I have no problem having these coins in my collection.

Have I owned some fakes? Yes, and they were pointed out to me by people who's opinions I trust and with PROOF. I welcome anyone to point out a potential fake in my collection as long as there is proof. Simply claiming you have a good memory and are a numismatist and dealer proves nothing.

For anyone interested in the CFDL take a look at Reid's excellent post here and make up your own mind:

Many members of this so called "organization" have been banned by Forum for stirring up trouble over the years and they have condemned absolutely authentic coins. I would strongly suggest to the CT mods that they keep a close eye on these kinds of divisive posts.

@Jay GT4 When I said your coins were fake this is from years of experience for a novice like you it takes time so don't be offended. I know how it feels to get fooled by forgers and You have been caught by them most of the time as your collection obviously shows this but word of advice do not spend more you will have hard time selling them later as no one would be interested to buy the fakes you have. The only dealer I have high respect and trust in their business is CNG the rest you should take them with lots of salt! Now To those guys who said CFDL says all coins are fake. My friends there are many coins which we never doubt such as the example I posted from CNG why I did not say that is fake too if I say every coin is fake??? You people have huge ego and till you keep this ego you deserve to be caught by forgers. let them suck you out of money for their junks! Also for the guys who said fakes are 1 in million . How about saying 1 in million girls have HIV? so lets have unprotected sex and hope we wont get caught by the 1%??? Your argument is as funny and as silly as what I just said )))))

"DENTON, Texas (Aug. 21, 2017) - Texas Woman's University unveiled a new athletics mascot during faculty and staff Fall Assembly Monday.

The Pioneers, as university athletic teams are known, will soon be sporting a new mascot — the "owl of Minerva" — that is as fierce as it is wise, just like the student-athletes wearing it."

The owl is on the reverse to the right of Minerva's foot.

 

So silly. Ignore engaged.

Wait, what? You say they went defunct some 1,850 years ago? Where has the time gone?
