    I don't have a coin from my birth year, but that year was the 2000th anniversary of this coin:

    Cr426s1SR383n07231FAVSTVS56BC.jpg

    A Roman Republican silver denarius, struck 56 BC by Faustus Cornelius Sulla, the son of the famous Sulla. 19 mm. 3.90 grams. Test cut at 6:30/12:00.
    Bust of Diana right (Sulla's patron deity) FAVSTVS in field.
    Sulla receiving the surrender of Jugurtha by Bocchus (a famous event event in history which elevated Sulla to be a rival of Marius for being the most important man in Rome), which happened 50 years before this coin was struck. Republican coins of moneyers often celebrated deeds of their ancestors. This design was engraved on the personal seal of Sulla.

    Not my year, but 2000 years earlier.

    I call this one the "Watermelon Inversion". (PCGS SP66 RB). That TrueView is no mere glamour shot. This thing is as much a screamer in hand as it is in the images.

    After I got it, I stumbled across the nickel (PCGS SP67) for what I considered dirt cheap ($15, in the slab).

    So now all I need to do is find is some nicely toned examples of the '65 dime, quarter, and half, in PCGS holders with TrueViews, and I'll have built my own 1965 SMS set, a little bit at a time.

    It wasn't something I was planning on doing. It just kinda happened.

    FYI, too lazy to look for my set to photograph. This pic is 'borrowed' from the net. Hope that doesn't land me in Le Chateau Woof Woof

    Okay, I want everyone to know that, despite all of the fun we've had making Doug aka @GDJMSP out to be The Old Man and the "CT", he is actually younger than me.
