Ancient => 50 Dollar To Make Tyche Holla!! ... Bottom-Feeder II

Yah, there were a lot of quite nice coins, but after seeing Doug's coin last week, I decided to step-up and bid on that bad-boy!! (and I think it is quite "cute") ...

=> it's actually a bit funny, because I kinda think that both (the Eagle and the Horse) look a bit cartoonish, but that seemed to be a bit of a draw in the end!!?

Oh, and thanks for all of your other positive coin-comments (ummm yah, despite my recent Tourette Syndrome faux pas, I really like you guys!!)

Cheers, brothers!!

=> I'm sorry, but my OCD made me put them together so that I could merely sit and stare at 'em (I don't have either in-hand, yet)

... carry-on ...

 

Total super-awesome, feel-good, side-note =>

My wife cut-off twelve inches of hair in support of the poor ol' cancer-kids!!

Yup, she absolutely rocks!! (before and after!!)

Sorry, it may not have anything to do with coins, but it's "my thread" so I'm gonna brag about how fricken cool my wife is (is that alright?)



Before:




After:




=> *whateva* => she's sooo fricken awesome, no matter what!!

 

Very Cool!

 

lonegunlawyer => thanks for the recognition, dude => yah, obviously there are a few things in life that are "a bit" more important than snaggin' that ultimate dream-coin, eh? ... I am lucky to have somebody in my life that reminds me that I'm being a total selfish **** every now and then (ummm, well besides Bing!!)

 

A lot of truth in what you say coin bro.
