Ancients => $33 US delivered => a humble Gordie-III

Too good for roaches, Champ?

Just one Gordie III? No way... just like Pokemon, you gotta catch 'em all!

 

I wonder what Gordie would make of the fact that he would be so popular more than 1,750 years later among people from nations that didn't exist when he was around, and on the other side of the world.

Funny, after I started the whole Gordian III obcession, he seems to have gotten pretty popular here. There's been more posts about his coins in the last 6 months than the previous year and a half.

 

It is refreshing to know that there are some among us who would be able to walk away from a Secret Santa present of the below:

Who?

 

57 grand?!? that aint roach bait fer sure!

 

..speakin' of coins and stuff... here's what i got in the mail.. a sestertius of Lucilla, those 75 cent calipers i ordered cause of the thread on cheap calipers and 2 of the 3 very delicious(and high $) cuban cigars my good coin friend (and yours) sent me as a reciprocating gift for a Missouri corn cob pipe. a return of biblical proportions. thanks @Sallent, this hillbilly is smokin high on the hog tonite(i'll do a thread on muh new coin later tonite)

 

well, lol, i was really talkin' 'bout them calling Gordian lll coins roaches, but hey..

 

New coin and Cuban cigars, sounds like a great Saturday night. Can't wait to read the write-up on your new coin. Enjoy the cigars.

 

No roaches here. Guess I've been doing a good job of keeping all the creepy-crawlies away



Like the coin and especially the dark toning on it, Steve!

 

thanks big O, i am, you have yourself a good evening too

 

haha! good meme!

 

Even the sestertii breed...

 

*Reaches into @Sallent 's other pocket

 

Man, I'm green with envy. What a beautiful group of GIII AR coins.

 

Better step your game up Sallent!

 

Yeah...but I'm in no hurry. I only started actively collecting Gordian III about 5 months ago, plus there are plenty of non-Gordian III coins calling my attention. I just got my first siliqua and my 13th Roman Republic denarii. As much as I like Gordian, he is a long term project for me.

 

Weak!

 

As has been pointed out, even the sestertii breed. Some even have roach-colored patina and look like roaches to boot...

 

Ummm, I have a bit of a confession to make ... it could have been anybody on the obverse => I bought the coin for the awesome $33 price and the sweet toning!!





Hey, thanks for posting all of your awesome roach-examples (this is/was a fun thread)
