=> if any of you have any good Commodus tid-bits, then please post 'em (it's very interesting stuff!!)

Cheers brothers!!

Here's one I just bought. The seller had mis attributed it as a Marcus Aurelius, but the CoinTalk ancient gang set him straight. The reverse of this coin is worn into oblivion, but I liked the portrait.

Thanks for the "Likes"

... as I've stated, I now must force myself to go on a poop-hunt (wish me luck!!)

 

Hey Mat. I am glad that one found a nice home. I recognised it as having once been mine straight away...

 

Cool coin steve. Like the lion skin bust.

Here's my only Commodus. Some of you may remember it:

 

I remember you mentioning that when I bought it. I got it as soon as it was listed. I love it still

 

Love that coin Jerry. Wanna trade? I'll give you a 2012 US Dime (circulated) for it. Whatdya think?

 

Nice coins everyone, and Jerry: be careful. Don't get a heat stroke out in that balmy weather.

Very close, my friend ... but there is still a wee bit of wiggle-room (maybe if you toss-in that Mustang of yours?)

 

I really like Randy's coin best but will show clubbers (one as, one denarius) since I no longer have that Roma. :smile



The denarius is the expanded version with extra implements. I'd really like to have a sestertius of that style.

 

=> well, now we know where my coin-idea came from ,eh? (atta boy, Commodus ... look at you go, eh?)

 

Great coin dougsmit (and everybody => oh, especially you Randy??!!)

:thumb:

=> I admit that your coin absolutely rocks => but man, my coin pushes your coin down, sits on it, and then makes it scream "uncle"!!






Ummmm => man, I hope that you know that I'm just being me, right dawg? (love ya brother!!) .................. Doug always stirs the pot!!

 

I also have these 2

 

Nice, Geki => yup, this place rocks!!!

=> great coins, gang!!


.... ooops, it's dinner time!! (already?!! .... cheers bros)

 

Oh, tonight => it's dog-poop soup!!

 

I share your pain Steve, I have a yellow lab, she can fill a 5 gallon bucket once a month.. Oh ya, as always awesome coin...:thumb::thumb:
