Maybe you just need a bigger wagon?

 

Lovely additions !!

My Nero dupondius and a Rhodian....

 

Nice additions, I like the bronze best.

 

Like them both.

 

Nice coin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

4 awesome coins, man....look at the noses on the facing busts, hardly worn at all!

nice!

 

Thank you all for the nice comments, just received my Athena imitation what a beauty, tomorrow I have a powerlift course, so I need to get to bed early )

 

Nice looking Owl. Congrats

 

Nice

 

Wow, Cyrrhus => thank god I don't have a power-lifting course tomorrow!! (oh, but good for you)

... tomorrow, I plan on lifting food and booze to my mouth (end of chore!!)



Oh => all three of your new coins are very cool (congrats)

Nero, Rhodes and Athena imitation, eh? ..... okay, I'm game to play ...







cheers, brother ...... have fun at tomorrow's course (great effort)

 

Course was great Steve, learned much, so I am happy, I did not know we had a coin match..

 

Both the OP coin and Steve's Victory as show the ball on the point of the bust usually accepted as a sign of the Lugdunum mint.

 

That coin always puts a smile on my face. What a beauty!

 

Interesting ... is that actually a truth, or merely today's awesome observation? (I have never noticed that there was a "ball" at the point of my dude's bust ... but yup, there it is!!)

... very cool (thanks => I'll append my coin-notes)

Oh, and that really is the cool thing about the way that I keep my coins in "3-ring- binders" ... I can always add pages of forum-conversation to my notes, so things are never lost (try doing that with your 2 x 2 flips!!)



*whatev* ..... old-school, and lovin' it!!

 

Stunning coins y'all.

You too huh?

 

I was already thinking when would somebody say it is from Lugdunum Lyon )

 

I can never resist dragging this one out again
