happy belated birthday...here's my recent ugly tet (less ugly in hand, especially obverse).

 

Lost it in a Meijer parking lot on a cold, rainy October night. I suppose it fell out of my pocket when I reached in to get my car keys...

 

I feel your pain. I lost an MN Fonteius denarius from my front jeans pocket a few months ago.
