Steve, everytime I see your animal-on-the-prow coins I think of Noah's Ark, then I think, "hey, he needs two of each!". Oh, I like how you fell off the wagon. Nice coin! My griffin is a wee little guy...
I've fallen so hard off the wagon you can see the crater I left from space. Over the past 35 days I've bought 6 Roman denarii, 1 Islamic drachm, 1 Bactrian drachm, and apparently I accidentally bid on another RR denarii (I just discovered that like 10 minutes ago) and I am currently leading in that auction. How it happened, I have no idea. I'm done buying, regardless of whether I win the current auction or not, for at least a month and a half. I'm feeling exhaustion...I haven't even had time to make the new tags for the new coins or anything. I need to catch my breath and focus on the new stuff before plunging into another coin yet again.
