I had to get this thread back on track!! => Back in Black!!



=> this album was released during my high school grad year (*oh my*)

 

Funny on the day I was born this was the Number 1 song on the charts...I don't know what you old timers did to the planet prior to my arrival.

 

Is that your dad?

 

So strange.

 

Dude, you don't recognize your own mom!?

 

Man I wish he was my dad, my coins would be waaaaay more awesome!!!

 

Noob => I'm soooo fricken glad that this isn't my father!!

 

I had to borrow one of Steve's coins

 

I once worked with a guy who would sing that song all the time. He would also sing a jingle that went, "Cars are like eggs...they're cheaper in the country...."

 

Love this coin

One of my all time favorite songs.

 

Eh, where are the Christmas tunes on this thread?



And of course, nothing says Christmas like a Kushano-Sasanian coin . Thanks again, SS!

 

He does rather look like the Santa Claus of the East, and on the reverse, he's waiting for you to come sit on his lap, just like at the mall.

 

Here is to my rockin' Secret Santa => Cheers, Z-Bro!!!




... oh, and here is a wee bit o' bootlegged BABYMETAL ...




... hey, it's "your" fault, my coin-friend

Cheers, and I hope that you're having a happy holiday season!!

 

My absolute favorite recording of a Christmas song:



He sounds like drunk Popeye.

A recent purchase I haven't yet posted elsewhere:


EGYPT. Ptolemy I Soter
satrap of Tyre, dated RY 32 of king Azemilkos (318/7 BC).
AR tetradrachm, 27 mm, 16.9 gm
Obv: head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin headdress
Rev: AΛEΞANΔPOY; Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; ||–= ЧO (date [year 32]) to left
Ref: Price 3283; Newell, Dated 35; DCA 737

 

Apparently, that's Anahit, goddess of fertility and healing sitting in the mall on the reverse. But hey, that works for me, too .

 

I want whatever Joseph Spence is having...

 

I'm just gonna stick my 'other' last coin of 2015 here...
