Good Day, posted are some recent purchases in the last 6 months. I’d like to thank my wife and some friends (Zap, Coat, Slayer, and War) for their support.

RIC IX 51, 42 (MVLT); Bastien, Lyon-Supplement 1 (1989), 58, 220c (this specimen). Apparently only the fourth known example of this great rarity, and the first offered at auction since Hess-Divo Auction 324, lot 129, 23 October 2013, hammered CHF 2,200. A superb specimen of excellent style, with wonderful old cabinet toning. This rare argenteus, issued at Lugdunum in the closing years of Valentinian II's reign, bears the vota formula VOT XV MVLT XX, marking vows for the emperor's fifteenth anniversary and hopes for a twentieth. It is one of the rare survivals of late Roman imperial silver coinage. From the Titan Collection.

I downloaded it some time ago, because it is an amazing tree, from flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/markreqs/2159014593 It is called Angel Oak: "The Angel Oak is a Southern live oak tree located in Angel Oak Park, in Charleston, South Carolina on Johns Island, one of South Carolina's Sea Islands. It is estimated to be over 1400 years old, standing 20 m (65 feet) tall, 2.47 m in diameter, and the crown covers an area of 1,580 m² (17,000 square feet). Its longest limb is 27 m (89 feet) in length. The tree and surrounding park have been owned by the city of Charleston since 1991."
