    Feeling a little slow around here this evening...so today's favorites!



    I love the detail and crispness of this Constantine II "Glory to the Military." I'm a sucker for these types.

    Maximianus AE Follis.JPG

    oh, but I thought I'd also toss-in a newer version ... "new version?" (he said)



    Yah, I "love" you original version (awesome teen memories) ... but I also like both versions (ummm, occasionally you're allowed to like both, right?)

    Hey look, it's fricken Saturday once again!!!

    I need to think of some songs to post because I have several coins that need to be shared.

    I'm not a Rod Stewart fan...but I do like your coin!

    What's wrong with you? Rod Stewart was one of the best.

    I'm a metal kind of guy. I am a big fan of the classics but there are some that don't do much for me.
