Beautiful gold!

 

Thank you, its my first Sassanian coin! When the Sassanians conquered most of the former Kushan Empire, their coins kinda imitated the Vasu Deva types.

Another stunning coin! Congratulations!

 

That is one pristine coin!!

 

I always find it remarkable, that today we have 2000 year old coins that are virtually as they came from minting facilities. Also, thankfully they were people that preserved them for us, to enjoy today. Really, glad to meet all nice fellow collectors.

 

wow sweet coin.

 

Nice ancient gold!!

 

Beautiful!

 

I just scored said coin of Vasu Deva, to bad its a piddly VF+.

 

...your posts are not helping my bank account FYI.

 

I like and agree with everything you said here. It's a stunning coin.

 

I LOVE everything about it...The style mesmerizes me....Hmm, or is that gold fever talking

 

I think its coin fever! I got it so bad, I will never be able to retire. Probably will work till I am past 100....or longer! Just put a couple more bids on sixbid tonite before bedtime. I bring auction catalogues to work, look at them while having lunch.

 

@panzerman. I got my photographer back. here's better pics of that Australia gold sovereign I bought at my last coin show...

KM#29 1918-S .917 gold mintage-3,716,000 in BU. white stuff on the reverse is on the airtite

 

Well, congrats on scoring-back your photographer (hopefully it's not S-Yoda's photographer as well?)

Hey, if you're gonna post your sweet 1918 golden-child, then I'm definitely gonna man-up and post my 1857 copper dragon-slayer!! (Upper Canada)




... my sweet baby comes complete with an awesome cornucopia



Hey, panzerdawg => is Ontario warm and sunny today, or warm and rainy?

(I hope your weekend is going well) ... I hope that this landscaping season brings a whole bunch of great coins for us to admire!!

 

Nice photo/ great Sovereign....I am working on getting some Melbourne mint examples.

 

Steve...neat coin. I found one (still have it) in my mothers flowerbed when I was eight. She got me helping her weed....future training?, little did I know that back then. I still have it in my "token" collection, close to mint state quality! Today its 15 celsius and sunny, been sunny for past four days! Probably take off the shirt in afternoon to start on the tan.....

 

(*phew*) ooops => ahahaha, sorry S-Yoda ... I got confused and thought that was panzerman's post (glad to hear that your sweet photgrapher is still in the mix)




panzerman => it is amazing how fast the snow disappears (what a great country, eh?)

=> bring-on the mosquitos (what's the worst that could happen, right?)

 

yup. Jenny my ex comes to see the cats and I have my new coins ready for her to photograph. it is not a condition for her to see the cats( I will never deny her seeing that cats...these 3 cats are like our children)... I think it's her way of saying thank you for me buying her such an expensive camera. I am still gonna shoot for getting my own camera. probably the less expensive Nikon. do not be confused with me getting back together with her. That will not ever happen again.
