    A happy Sol Invictus Christmas to you all, and a happy 2,019th birthday to Jesus. Yeah, Jesus was probably born around 4 BCE :eek:

    Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad!

    Anyone give any coins out as gifts for Christmas (besides to others online)? I gave my little bro a few ancients I didn't need from my collection. Also gave him a Morgan dollar I forgot I had from when I used to collect US coins (1900-S in case anyone was wondering). Hopefully this will reinvigorate his interest in collecting, which has been waning.

    My cousin's children are getting into coin collecting, so I sent them a bunch of quarters and pennies, plus an ancient each...

    I gave a couple of Roman Imperials(a Gordian III ant and a Valens AE3 or AE4) to a coworker who is fascinated by my coins and the who has been very interested in history because of the discussions we've had. He is tight with money and wouldn't ever buy coins for himself but he really seems to enjoy the ones I gave him.

    I also received this Christmas present from my dad. Crawford 291/1 Man. Aemilius Lepidus denarius, 114/113 BC. Taken and uploaded with my Nexus 6P cause my usual rig is half a continent away.
