Good Lord !!! I have trouble 'multi-tasking' more than one thing at a time LOL

Naw, not multi-taking! I just have a short attention span...

 

....

 

Sorry, Jango => that's a very cool book, my friend (congrats)

 

I didn't know there was a coin with harry Potter

 

Great posts guys! Hopefully this tread can serve as a kind of reference to those that want good ancients/medieval related material to read. There are a couple more books+related coins I will post when I have sufficient time.

 

@FitzNigel... I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but these coins appear to be inauthentic . Fortunately, they are all easily replaced with genuine ancient coins, since they all readily available types.

 

awww, really? .... man, that always sucks!!

*edit*

Fitz, I am very sorry to hear the bad news

 

I have to agree, at least regarding the first two coins. I do not enough about medieval coins to say one way or another, but if the others are fake I would suggest doing some research on the last coin as well.

 

The Greeks I inherited - the Richard coin I purchased myself and know is authentic. TIF, are you suspecting the Caesar coin is a fake?

 

I'm not sure TIF is suggesting the 'Caesar' coin is a possible fake---and I can't see enough to even venture an 'educated guess' myself---but a 'rule of them is to be suspicious of others in view of the company they keep---one fake coin often turns out to be one among many...

I quoted her statement, so she will note that 'alert' and perhaps respond back to this thread as soon as possible...

EDIT: HAH!! I corrected my misspelling...and I'm not illiterate, I just can't read or write and depend on the kindness of others to process my mail and posts etc.--Looking for a second job Steve ??? ---JP for MZ--- (See, my private secretary's initials)

 

Unfortunately, I think TIF said that she had to step-out for a bit ... but no worries, for I'm pretty sure that she said Bing would be covering all of her emergency-calls?

Love, TIF's Secretary

Oh, and you spelled "alert" incorrectly (yah, TIF refuses to deal with illiterates)

 

I'm not sure what to make of the purported JC denarius. Core of a fouree?

 

Oh, you're back already, Miss TIF ... I'm sorry, I didn't see you come back from your "appointment"

 

I try very hard to refrain from Grammar Naziism but it is sometimes difficult . There/they're/their, your/you're (ARGH!!), than/then, etc.

Ultimately though this is a coin forum, not a grammar forum . I certainly make mistakes now and then.

 

Regardless, it's not a genuine Julius Caesar denarius. Perhaps the core of a fouree. Perhaps another fake.

 

Oh boy! My own secretary! Now I can blame someone else when I mess up.

 

Add "to, too and two" to that list.

 

Judging from your immaculately organized coin collection, I really should hire you to organize my coins (and life)!

In case anyone reading this thread hasn't seen Steve's coin organization system:

Not exactly what one would have predicted from our mayhem-loving Steve-O, is it? A closet obsessive-compulsive, apparently. (I'm just jealous)
