Look at the chin on that guy! If I hit him he would thank me for popping a zit.

 

thanks spirityoda & tommy ... I was lookin' for a couple o' friends ...

Cheers, bros

 

ahahah => ya naughty-dawg!!



well spirityoda, "hopefully" your sweet bug-collection will end-up being worth at least as much as you paid for it, right? (honestly dude, there are far worse hobbies for blowing money than chosing the hoobie where you're actually buying money!! ... right?)

=> again ... hopefully you won't end-up up losing too much money ... and ideally, you'll actually end-up breaking-even and/or even "making money" ... yup, we all have a dream, my friends

Cheers (I love you guys)

 

Much better than my Antioch.

 

Hmmmm, really? ... nobody has any comments, and/or has any similar coins to post?

.... ummm, please don't make me resort to posting random stuff (that often ends-up going south and ends-up with me being reprimanded and taking a few disciplinary coin-points)

Somebody must have a Jovian example and/or an example of a Bon Jovi concert, or even a photo of their Terrier, Gordie Bon Jovian?

 

Awesome!! => thanks, Mentor (I knew that I could rely on you)

Hey, please follow Doug's lead and post your stuff (thanks gang)

 

I have not bought an insect coin for a little while. I have been buying a lot of Germany coins lately. I find them incredibly interesting. I usually tell my girlfriend about all my coin buys except for my last Italy 1919 10 centesimi bee coin MS-63 NGC for $500.00 I had to buy...it was a date grade rarity thing that only comes on the market every 10-15 years. I had to buy it. lol not willing to wait another 10-15 years. I do NOT keep things from my girlfriend. I would say only 10-15% of my insect collection I could make great money on now, but I am not in it for the money... I am in it for the beauty, rarity, and basically FUN of it. If I were to die now ha ha... my girlfriend could probably get between $14,000-16,000 for my whole coin collection. after collecting world coins for 17 years I have come to know which coins are much more rarer than others. I wish I had a lot more experience.... I realize this comes with time and viewing millions of coins. I love this hobby. I can not only loose myself in coins (escape) but hand over a lot of money doing it.

 

I like you, spirityoda ... good luck in your coin travels ...

Hey fellas => now that Jon Bon Jovian has been added to my list

=> I now have "88" Roman Rulers (or mates, etc =>I have 88 ERIC-II examples)

... wow, eh?

I'm actually starting to make a dent in the good ol' 207 Roman Ruler List (yah, now I just need to somehow score the rare top-half!!)

 

stevex6... someday I will do ancients. Greek "bee" coins. they get pricey in better grades. this is way down the road 10 years from now. L

 

Greek bee coins? ... huh, well this is just for you, my buggy-friend








=> there ya go => "4" x 2000 year old bees .... how fricken cool, eh? (cool)
