If you don't like Ancient slabs, Don't look!

I really like you, Eng => so despite hating slabbed coins, I opened-up your sweet thread (great new coin, shame about its dojo)

... anyway ... (that's such a tired discussion)

So hey, congrats on scoring a cool new coin from a super-rare century (it's a total winner)

I have one of this dude's coins, but then mean ol' Heraclius came along and did the ol' El-Kabong to it!! (still pretty cool though, eh?)

Syracuse Overstrike (Heraclius/Anastasius)

Congrats Eng!!! Wonderful 'gold' coin, slabbed or free....Your coin club sounds terrific!!!

 

Thanks for your comments folks, i will take better pic's today, yesterday was pretty dark out side, the color is gold, its my lousy picture taking and i'll show the rest of the slab!

 

Gold is really hard to photograph and actually comes in a variety of colors. I too would like to know the true color of this piece - I betchu its really nice.

 

Ok, took many picks and went to my camera phone, i think i got better color.

I remember one time seeing slabs being called "slobs". I say we should adopt this measure.

"Ugghh. Look at that slob."

"Dude! Your coin got slobbered!"

 

Jeff no slab bashing on my thread.
Younger then Steve, this spring we picked up a few very nice Springers,




Ended up with 6 nice spring Kings that day.

So i'll post from Johnny's kitchen my test BBQ Bacon cheeseburger pizza.

Sweet!! => hey, you still look the same to me, my cool West Coast coin-friend!!

I always smile when I see how happy you are, livin' large and fishing!! (oh, and thanks for that mouth-watering pizza shot ... yummy, yummy!!)

Man, I love seeing those gorgeous photos of the coast (only a couple more years and hopefully I'll have saved-up enough cash to buy something nice, on the West Coast water?!!)
