You know if your going to fall off the wagon, do it right. awesome coin my frozen friend. awesome details.
My humble example.. changed from top to bottom today and made new back ground and lighting.

 

Apparently, I now have 18 Roman chick-coins containing "16" different Roman chicks

Uh-oh => Mat must be getting kinda jealous, eh?



Julia Titi (Sesterius)
Faustina I (Denarius)
Faustina II (Sestertius and Denarius)
Lucilla (Sestertius)
Crispina (Dupondius)
Julia Domna (AR Antoninianus)
Plautilla (AE26)
Julia Mamaea (Tetradrachm)
Julia Maesa (AE37)
Tranquillina (AR Drachm)
Otacilia Severa (Sestertius and Antoninianus)
Herennia Etruscilla (Antoninianus)
Salonina (Antoninianus)
Severina (Antoninianus)
Galeria Valeria (AE26 Follis)
Aelia Eudoxia (AE18)

Curious? ... of the 207 examples in ERIC-II, how many of them are chick-coins? (if nobody else knows, then maybe I'll do a bit of counting later-on in the day)

=> oh, and thanks again for all of your coinpliments and your coin postings (I appreciate your efforts)

 

Hi Steve. It's raining here and very cold. . As far as Severina, I still have this "cut" bronze coin.

 

=> Hi Charles7 ... here was my backyard this morning (pulling our Godson around on the sled in our backyard) ... it wasn't very cold today, so it was good times!!

Cheers

 

Steve, nice new coin for your collection.
Nice coins everyone.
