stevex6 => Ancient Coin "5" outta 5 => Syria, Decapolis. Gadara Ummm, although I have great love for this coin, I fear that you may turn on this meager offering? (I hope not, for I absolutely love the Reverse!!) Either way, it has been an absolute pleasure showing-off my 5 new coins!! SYRIA, Decapolis. Gadara. Gordian III AE26 238-244 A.D.

(no seriously, "thanks") :high5:
Really? ... nobody likes this super-cool coin? (or is everybody out at Boston Pizza?) => ooops, Friday nights is when I usually get myself in "poop" .... ehhh, but i'm not gonna fall for it this time ... this time I'm gonna be good ... right?
I love Ancient Boats... In fact, it was a similar coin to this that helped find how these were built! Wish I could reply earlier... Was watching a movie Friday is movie night for me
Friday night is slow around these parts, Steve. Don't take it personally. What I do know about this coin is that it's tough in good grades, and you've got one of the best reverses I've seen. Actually, I haven't seen a better one offered recently, overall. Bravo yet again!
Are you kidding me? You think no one cares about this coin? That is a great coin with a wonderful reverse. It's Friday night you putz. It's always slow on Fridays. Sometimes it seems I'm the only one around on Fridays making me think I have no life other than the computer and CT. Well, maybe. Anyway, great pickup Jerry!! Two thumbs up :thumb::thumb:
Big and bold, you have out done yourself, very awesome, as a boat lover here in the NW, i have a thing for boats, i wonder what the standard is on the stern, Chi-rho... probably not, way cool...:thumb::thumb:..just remember we out West get on last to the big show, its only 8:30...
