Questions about Constantinopolis City Commemorative

I remember watching those Batman episodes when we were kids - we were glued to them. Alan West, right? Nobody thought men in tights were "a bit off" in those days. (But we did think the BeeGees were a bit off.)

For the record => I absoluutely love my hard-copy of ERIC II ... I am always flipping-through and trying to find a match while I'm surfing for coins (sure, Wildwinds is probably my primary reference, but my ERIC II and my Sear's books are always close at hand) ...

=> I highly recommend buying ERIC II (oh, but please remember that I am a tad frivalous every now and then, and then, and then again!!)

Cheers!! (you only go around once!!)

Ahahahaha => I agree (kind of) ...

=> it was actually "Adam" West .... and for the record ... Adam was a bit off (but I love when he does the retro voice-overs on The Simpsons)

 

I'm down with frivolous. All coins and no Batman would make for a sorry state of the union.

 

Adam West rocks. Him & Michael Keaton are my favorite batmans.

ERIC III is being worked on as I type this. Looking forward to it myself.

 

Mat => ummm, is there an estimate on when good ol' Eric III may be coming out?

Hey, thanks for that reference guys! I did a bit of searching, and ERIC I is freely downloadable through a Creative Commons license. This should keep me reading for quite a while...

You can get ERIC II cheaper with the paperback version called AORTA, its what I have and I actually use it alot.

As for ERIC III, it was announced Jan 15. and Ras. has a progress page. You can find both on the facebook page of it.

I have just added Bruck to my list of books to buy... (A VERY long list which I have given up any hope of every acquiring every book on the list!)

Thanks,

Alfred

 

Thanks Mat ...

I hope you're having a great weekend!!

Its on my list too Alfred, and has been for quite a while. I have seen them, but not at a price I wanted to pay.

 

Here's pics and descriptions of all the Constantinopolis coins:

I would love to get one some time.

 

I almost just got one, but I got outbid at the last minute on E-bay. It hurts, because I would have had it for around $10. It was a Trier RIC VIII 92, and I think I would have gotten a deal. C'est la vie.

 

Revi: I just sent you a private message.

 

Thanks. I'll check it out. I have gotten over missing that one. I looked at what other Constantinopolis coins went for on E-bay. I was in the ballpark.

 

Ummmpphh!! => I had a bit of an impulse-buy (phew => yup, it feels good to snag another coin!!)
