Nope, ya can't beat that (it is a fun hobby)

 

With Sallent slowing down, I kinda feel like the rest of us need to step up with a few more examples. Seriously, guys...



My first Gordie...


My favorite error Gordie...


A Gordie Fortvna Redvx: Part Devx, cos we don't just need to catch 'em all, we also need to catch a few of 'em twice...

 

ahaha => more cow-bell (Gordie) ... man, that never gets old, eh?!

 

More Gordy? Alright, then. I'll post more marriage commemoratives!

Hey, I think your G+T marriage commemoratives would make a really nice virtual tray if you ever get a chance to put one together.

 

Oh, so they have to be "new" now, instead of just our favorite.

Well, I have no new underpants, but the new Captain Underpants movie looks AMAZING!!! (From a kid's perspective)

 

@TIF , yeah, I would call this a "TRUE STORY!"...

 

That's one of my favorites of yours, Tif!

 

I was just looking through my records and I haven't bought a Gordy since 2013. I bought it because it was an Antioch issue being sold as Rome.

 

I didn't realize until taking all of these out of their sleeves that one of the darker toned ants had some decent, iridescent toning. For your viewing pleasure:

 

Wow, that's a sweet roach, iamtiberius (very cool)

 

Nice price and coin @stevex6 Even though there are so many GIII coins I only managed to pick up 2 so far. Here is the pretty one...



but although I don't collect Gordian coins as much, I collect Julia Domna coins. Which probably has the same amount of coins if not more out there, since they minted so much and so many variants.

 

Steve, thats an awesome new roach.

I'll try to share a photo today, thanks for the quote.

 

Here is what I believe is a Gordian/Tranquillina facing bust provincial. As I warned above, it is very worn! Looks to be a goddess on the reverse. I am not sure which town it's from.

 

Excuuuuuse me...it looks like all of you guys fell into a roach trap. My guess is that yous guys have been smoking a bit as you seem enamored with roaches.

They might be common, but talk about a very affordable series. Many different designs, places of issue, marriages of style. What more could one want? A lot of bang for the buck. I love this hobby.

 

Here's another gordie provincial! I almost forgot about this one. I like the reverse a lot because of the animals, I believe a lion and a bull. Hope you like it!

 

This one added to the infestation today. I couldn't help myself.
