It's My Two-Year CoinTalk-aversary!

It suddenly popped up on my notifications that my supporter status expired! And since I became a supporter after my first year here, this means I'm now on year two! (And renewed my supporter status). While I've been buying lots of coins lately (maybe too many), I don't have many photos to share. So I'll share my recent JA wins!

I've been getting quite a few Provincials lately, which surprises me a little, but I've come to love the size and differing designs. So feel free to pile on with some Roman Provincials/Greek Imperials! (Or medievals - you guys know I love those...). Thanks for an awesome two years!

Nice, I thought about that myself.

 

It's been that long? Seems like yesterday. I just checked and I've been a poster now for well over 4 years. My, my. How time flies when you're having fun, or, as Kermit might say "Time's fun when you're having flies".

 

Yep - surprising it has been two years. I am admittedly a half lurker...

 

Happy anniversary, buy a coin to celebrate!

 

happy anniversary! i had to look at my own profile to figure out how long i've been here (4.5...i was guessing 3!).

 

Happy cointalk anniversary. I've been here for only 19 months, but what a great 19 months it's been.

 

I'm coming up on 6 years! Admittedly I didn't participate the first year of membership, just created an account and lurked.

Here are a couple provincials!

 

happy day!

 

I drifted over here with Bing, Jango and chrsmat ... wow, 4.5 years ago!!

=> thanks Mentor, for recommending this coin-site (100% never looked back!!)

 

Congratulations is in order then, FitzNigel
I appreciate your threads, specially those dealing with mediaeval/celtic coinage. Keep them coming.

I just realized my 10 year CoinTalk anniversary came and went a few weeks ago...how time flies.

 

very impressive

Eduard ... thanks for allowing us to crash the party




... I feel embarrassed with my measly 4.5 year badge

 

Congrats

 

Wow @Eduard - 10 years! Here's wishing you many more (and I'm glad you began posting again in the ancients section again! - I'm not sure I saw you my first year here...)

 

Happy 2nd CoinTalk-aversary, Fitz. Time flies when you're having fun.

The Graces are my go-to party girls when you need help celebrating.

 

I'll take 'em! Just don't tell my wife...

 

I wish you many more "chatty" years here!

 

Congratulations Fitz! Moving into provincials huh? Nice coins!

Yea... I say that and then bought a medieval coin today... I need to slow down.
