Let's see coins you received for Father's Day, or purchased for yourself (with Father's Day as the excuse). Here's mine:
Here is mine. Nothing super special, but still a nice ASE. I have my eye on one more piece for my 7070 that I may grab today if the price stays in the ball park
This is from last year. My daughter, along with my 2 grandsons, purchased some of the coins on line and others from a coin shop. She selected the coins based on specific years. 1973 was her birth year, 1980 my son's, 1995 my first grandson, and 1998 my second. She also picked a few in 1952, my birth year. She hot glued a small magnet on the reverse of each coin and bought a cork board with metal backing. She added some old photos of me, her, and the grand kids when they were babies. She spent a lot of time and thought in this project and I could not have been more proud. Before I had a chance to say anything about her damaging the coins( gosh, one was a proof 1973 Kennedy) she presented me with a duplicate, unaltered copy of each coin and a gift certificate to my favorite LCS. What a great gift! Can't wait for her visit later today.
Father's Day present The wife gave me a small check payable to cash & I went to the coin show on Father's Day. I traded the check for these two Bronze Roman coins. These two Roman coins are relatively high grade (EF) and IMO they are easy on the eyes. This is how I have them attributed so far: DECENTIUS Caesar 351-363 AD AE1 (24 mm diameter) Similar to Sear #4036 Obv: DN DECENTIVS FORT CAES Bare headed simple draped bust facing right. Rev: VICT DD NN HVG ET CAES Two victories standing facing each other holding between them a shield (VOT - V - MVL - X) in the shield, FSAR in exergue. CRISPUS Caesar 317-326 AD (Son of Constantine) AE3 (19 mm diameter) Similar to Sear #3918 Obv: IVL CRISPVS NOB C Laureate head facing right Rev: CAESARVM NOSTRORVM Laurel wreath around (VOT - X), HSIS in exergue. Several of these letters are illegible on my examples but the Sear book allowed me to fill in the blanks.
My Father's Day present was a used AMSEC safe similiar to this one: It's missing the shelf and has a few scuffs, but we got it for a great deal because we were willing to pick it up.
