    Thanks! I'll give her a good home. I'm now remembering seeing your name next to an interesting coin in the auction which had me thinking "that's such a Steve coin". Perhaps it's one of the other ones you won... I'll be watching out for it!

    I'm betting that Clio won the coin that you're thinking about ... this one?

    ... yah, that one would have been nice to add to the ol' Skylla list (I actually bowed-out after TIF stated that she wanted to go for it ... but she predicted that Clio would score it and she was correct) ... she is always correct, eh?

    Not that one, though Clio did end up winning one of my targets :meh:. The one I was thinking of had a pretty cool double strike.

    Very nice, Steve!
    5 in one go, wow!

    Wednesday night?

    I guess you are talking about the bi-monthly CNG auctions ?
    I was interested in that nice Augustus dupondius with the cool wreath on reverse that I love so much.

    .....Forgot to bid on time (probably due to the dang time difference - we went back to summertime a few days ago and my brain apparently has not 'adjusted' yet).

    Great looking coins.

    Reminds me of one of my favorite sayings. "I like running with scissors because it makes me feel dangerous."

    I bid seriously on only one coin and thought I had it only to refresh and find that Clio beat me out:mad:

    I think Clio would get serious backlash is he/she joined this forum...
